This has me thinking...
On my 87 GTI 8v (where I have an oil temp indicator), my typical oil temp is
70-75 deg C. This is (I think) a lower value than the typical coolant temp
is it not? What is an acceptable value for oil temp? And what is the
relationship between oil temp and coolant temp once normal operating
temperatures have been reached?
On the GTI I use 5w50 Castrol Syntec. On my TR6 I also use the same oil but
have no oil temp gauge.
Comments?
