I went away for a few days this week and one of the places I visited was Porlock. On one very narrow and hilly lane (Porlock Weir to Lynmouth toll road) my oil temp rose to 106C. It usually hovers around 90C so it caught my attention. The water temp was ok and the fans never kicked in.
However on one slow uphill climb the throttle response was reduced. It appeared for a few seconds that the ECU was limiting my power.
I've heard that racing 370Zs have had problems when on track from this power cutting feature at high temps. I've since done a search and found reference to high oil temps on the 370.
Is 106C considered to be high? I don't have an oil temp gauge on my 240 - I judge the oil temp by my oil pressure
By the way a 370Z does not have an oil cooler for UK markets edit - see later post
