Will engine oil get up to temp even though coolant isn't?

<< < (3/3)

I now have this same sympton. Looked at the Pelican parts how to and it looks like a right faff, alternator off etc, and it's minus a million outside.

Similarly, when the temp goes over 90 and just prior to stage 1 fans kicking in (around 105 deg C), it's also sat at 90 degrees  :grin:

Bashing out the pre-cat has no bearing on warm up temperatures.  The default cat warm up mode (double injector pulses) remains, even when remapped and/or cats bashed out. The engine is none the wiser, which is annoying as tuners could easily turn that off to save some fuel.

Stage 1 fans at 105 degrees? Surely not? Mine kick in about about 95, car has never gone over 96. Did the thermostat earlier this year as the old one was starting to show symptoms - slow to warm and never got over 92 degrees.

Dash shows 90 from an actual temp of 75 degrees C, still has another 20 to go... Oil takes even longer to get there
