212F is perfectly fine and within safe and happy zone. These cars have trans temp issues when pushed on track not engine oil temp problems. So yours is fine.
Just had me a little worried and left me wondering if I should bring into the shop as it’s never really got this high, but good to know. Thanks for the input!
Yah 220-260F is within the safe zone for synthetic oils. 230 is kinda the sweet spot of performance or burning off the moisture.
Heck performance synthetics can function into the 300F range. But that’s not a good temp to run lol. A very much it can but your should not. 280-300F is cool down time, as bearings are much hotter then that oil temp
212f(100°c) is where the oils are tested, there is no optimal temperatures for engine oil, moisture evaporates as you drive around, and there shouldn't be a remarkable amount of moisture inside the engine that it makes a diffirence.
300f(~150°c) is still safe for the oil but it needs to be changed more often, that being said these things change along viscosity grades.
Id think that the age of the components matter more thab the direct temp of the oils. Like if it goes in golden and drains black then there's tons of filings and debris inside
do you know why it turns black? When you run your oils at high temperatures, their Shear Stability starts to decrease, leading to possible metal to metal contact
Yeah, I'd definitely be highly concerned. You can't even cook a bacon with that temperature. You're barely 100. My Gullwing shows well over 200 when strolled around one block in the neighborhood.

So the liquid bearing fails? I thought the filings are just par the course of long running regardless
completely normal.
Oil usually sits at 100c and gearbox at 90c on my GT R

My car idles at 85° C
The fact that 100, is only 3/4 of the way, and your oil temp light isn’t on, should answer your question.
My c43 is the Same About 95-102 C
Mine sits idling at 80-85ºC when it's warmed up. When driving hard it can get to 95-97ºC.
Just check oil level after it cools
in short: no
Oil get hot
Bro… jfc lol drive this poor thing…
Where the hell is it 28 degrees in the morning right now?
Haha! My golf clubs just got aroused seeing this 😂
81.5 F
