Cat 3208 oil cooler- engine oil temp hi- 89SP

[timvasqz]

I'm not sure that is hi? what should the temp be? my 8v92 gets to 250 and my
cummins n-14 get to 195. The cummins pulls a truck that is unloaded most of the
time ant the 8v92 a bus that is at max load every time it pulls out.

too often folks try to reduce tepms via after market mods and not deal with
the factors that cause the extra heat. That is the problem with all the shade
tree t stat mods and extra fan measures. the operator will lose the signal that
a high temp warns of a failure which causes heat.

the result of relatively minor overheat conditions. Is the water temp also
high? Could be several things or a combination of things. Oil should be
changed at least every 100 hours because carbon build up in the oil reduces its
ability to cool. Radiator could be compromised in some way either internal or
external. Have you checked the coolant level not using the sight glass? The
impeller on the water pump could be worn. You know, considering how expensive
an overheated diesel can be, I would take it to good shop and let the pro's
diagnosis it. Just my two cents worth.

have any experience with an exhaust temp alarm?
