I ran an oil temp sensor in my Duster. It takes a long time for oil to heat up. Usually takes about 10 miles of driving before oil is up to temp. Oil doesn't get warm in the pits or driving to the staging lanes.
What was the oil temp when it finally came up and stabilized?
Depends on the load and ambient. Driving around town oil temp is 150 to 180 depending on air temp. Freeway usually 180. Climbing a long hill or hammering on the engine for more than a minute spikes the oil temp pretty quickly.
Thank you. One more if you don’t mind. When the temp went up with load, did it come back down to where it was or did it stay up where it was when the load was the greatest? Also, if it came down about how long did it take?
I snuck two in there.
TIA
