Normal Oil Temp
Got to admit, havent been driving the car much lately and was checking out the gages, noted the oil temp was playing between 205 and 215 degrees, only 89 degrees outside with open road driving, is this normal, or does it seem a little high, the coolant temp was 196 - 198 so assume the engine wasnt overheated. tks, inadvance

Re: Normal Oil Temp (DownEaster)
Normally, 205 to 215 is normal in my ZO6. Idling in traffic in hot weather and it's gone to 234. Driving the s--t out of it and it goes about the same level. Mobil 1 is good to over 300 degrees. The engine?....dunno about that. :seeya

That really makes me feel better cause I was running my TT very hard last weekend and it climbed to about 220. But normally its around 204-210

But then you have your car worked on under warranty by Lou Bachrodt chevrolet for a blown rear seal.. and you have a twin turbo 650 hp car... You are an amazing man...

You have a twin turbo and you only see 205 210..... thats awefully strange... regular non turbo cars see 230's all the time in the summer...

LPE does put did put in a different oil pump for their TT's but I think that only affects the OIL Pressure.

Re: Normal Oil Temp (abraham)
I see 250 in about 1 hour of normal driving, in 80+ heat staying under 3000rpm. Please see my thread if you can help.
I still want to know how someone with a twin turbo 650 HP car can get it serviced under warranty.. at the local Chevy Dealer..

I guess it would depend on what you are servicing. Column Locks and Fuel Sending Units are common issues that have nothing to do with a Power MOD. Nor would a/c problems, power seat or Window failure etc. OIL temp issues may not be honored but that would also depend on what kind of rapport you have with the dealership.
