Xsara Oil Running Temperature

[alxsaravts]

Hi guys

I ve got a xsara vts 2003 model,and i live in Greece where the sun is HOT all year round!

I want to know what is the normal oil running temperature-mine when i step on it goes way over 100.... :P

Also when i m going in asteep hill does the same :(

Is it normal?

Water temperature is under 70.....

No red signals or stop in the interior by the way

you are in a hot country and the oil for that is semi synthetic 15W/50 using any thing thinner it will get hotter but that's normal for performance reasons ( the hotter the engine the better the performance ) race driving theory for the track, as long as the coolant bent over heat it should be ok and keep to the service schedule

yes in a hot country,

in the UK when it has its yearly MOT the oil temp has to be 80c minimum at idle and because its always cold here the engine has to be revved like hell so where you are those temps are easily achieved, happy racing and stay safe
