Oil temp??

[motobmx105]

I was just woundering what the oil temp should be when completly warmed up and what the max temp is. Thanks guys!!

Anyone?????

well when it warms up and running around the city/idling it reads 1/3 the way up, mechanic on hondatech told me his runs at the same everyday all day. I noticed when i get onto the highway it works alot less than at idle so the temp almost reads cold (not quite but well at the bottom) hope that helps.

i belive your talking about water temp, im talking about OIL temp, i have an oil temp gauge. it just seems like its really hot when im on the hwy just woundering what the max temp would be?? thanks

what is it reading?

[motobmx105]

it gets up around 250ish.

You should not see much past 210 F max. If you're hitting 250 F, that is definitely too much.

I would first check that the gauge is accurate, compare the reading to a known temp substance or confirm with another gauge. If it is accurate, then definitely stop driving that engine and get the problem resolved.

Check if you're coolant system is working properly. If so, then it is probably something very wrong with engine internals. Also check your ignition timing is set properly, I would check all spark plug conditions as well to get an indication per cylinder.

thanks alot! thats the answer i was looking for! i will check all that and then some!

Hondafan81 basically nailed it. Most oils function the best around 185-200 degrees. Anything over or under that will hinder performance. This is why some people have problems with oil coolers "overcooling" oil to where they dont reach the proper operating temp.

what oil are you running?

im running castrol syntec 10w 30.

At least your running a good oil. Have you checked what HondaFan81 wanted you too? I'm interested to figure out what this is.

not enough clearances can usually lead to higher oil temps. im wondering if 250 is normal for a honda though?
