Your oil temprature and engine type

Hello Canuck: about the same temp readings here. Will get alittle warmer on a hard pull on a hot day.

 

2001 C-15 here, and it runs between 180-200. If I'm really working it I may see 215.

 

about 195-205 but will rise to 240 when using the brakesaver on a steep grade

 

Hello 830hp C16: How long does it take the brakesaver to get the oil that hot?

 

Don't know if my oil temp gauge is correct, always seems to be on the cool side, generally about 30 degrees cooler than water temp.
On the average, water temp = 180, oil temp = 150

I have noticed that since my injector codes were changed to 5232, oil temps will increase if I "gouge on it", hill climbing, etc., also if I use my engine brake (jake) alot.

 

My 07 Acert runs 200~215, up to 230 on hard pulls. One thing to remember is the old Cats have the oil temp probe in the oil pan and will have a "lower" temp reading than today's Cat, where the temp probe is in the oil cooler.

 

I have a '06 C-15 ACERT running Schaeffers 9000 full synthetic and the oil temp runs around 200-210. If I really need get after it going up a hill it will climb to about 240.

On a side note I have heard rumors that some of the newer CATs don't actually have oil temp sensor. From what I have been told the ECM figures the oil temp off of the coolant temp and air temp sensor readings. I don't know if this is true or not and to be honest I haven't looked on my motor for the senor. Maybe I'll go look for it now.

 

It only gets that hot on the big hills eg: 9% grade,100k lbs gross weight,5th od (with 4.33 rears) holding at 1900rpm it would take about 1.5 minutes but cools down fast
