addisj Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I have never had an oil temp gauge in a car before so please excuse my ignorance. I would expect it to start off on 0 and then climb as the oil heats up. Mine goes straight to 3/4 on the dial when I first start her up and then slowly comes down to 1/3 on the dial and pulses up to mid way when I accelerate. After about 10 mins of driving it stays around the half way / 3/4 mark. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

370Ad Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The 70 has an oil temp gauge instead of pressure. Not sure why they swapped it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean_1983 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 temp gauge would be more helpful I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 temp gauge would be more helpful I think I think pressure is more important. No pressure is very dangerous afterall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The 70 has an oil temp gauge instead of pressure. Not sure why they swapped it out. I read that manufacturers said that the pressure gauges were causing unwarranted concerns from customers that couldn't read them correctly and the oil temp is simpler for the customer to read 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
