Engine oil temp.

[Leroy Eckert]

I just looked in my Detroit manual last night and found the oil range for my
8v92TAC engine. 200-250 for mine. If you know what engine and turbo you have I
can look it up and tell you what it says for you engine.
Was the new gauge the same index as the old gauge? If not, you need to replace
the sender with a compatible version. As for actual temperatures, mine routinely
runs 220 at 1950 rpm and 67 mph. As water temperature increases, so does the oil
temp.

When I bought my PT36 in April the engine oil temp guage was inop.
I have replaced that guage with a working one and I see the engine
oil temp running at 230 degrees. I believe that is close to the upper
limit. This temperature is reached driving local freeways with
little congestion and no grades. Do I have something to be concerned
about? You folks who have similiar engines, what is your normal engine
oil temp? Coolant temp runs 185 to 195.
