sisson18 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Just had my car fitted with a buddy club exhaust and decats. My oil temp is now running very high hitting the 120, is this normal? I'm also looking for the best place to get a remap near derby? Are one company better than an another?

Richf Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 No oil temp of 120 degrees is not normal unless on track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisson18 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 I can hear this strange noise when I lift off. Sort of like a whisting / steam noise. Then the oil temp drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Oil temp, not coolant temp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 or are you looking at your oil pressure gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisson18 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Haven't used the car for a while but it was the middle gauge on the dash with psi wrote underneath it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 That's oil pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 PSI = Pounds per Square Inch There's no reason your pressure should've risen at all. Are you 100% sure it's not always been like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisson18 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 It's hits 120 as soon as I start the car up so didn't know if it was a problem. Also hits 120 as soon as I put my foot down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Sorry couldnt resist , the higher your rpm the higher your oil pressure , I suspect you are revving the car higher enjoying the noise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisson18 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 I can sit in neutral a foot off and it's still 120 when I start her up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I can sit in neutral a foot off and it's still 120 when I start her up! yeah cause the oil is thicker when its cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisson18 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Nothing to worry about then! Haha. Still need to find a remap place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 If the gauge moves when you turn the ignition on, the sensor needs replacing as first action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisson18 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Did the pedal dance and it's sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
