jevansio Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Mine went to 100-110 on very hot days after lengthy spirited driving runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Depends where you measure it too. Temps in the sump, by the oil filter and elsewhere can be quite different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I was told 115 is as comfortably high as you want to go on silkoline. I pushed it that far at marham with an oil cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignum Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Ive tried both sump and sandwich plate , i got 10 d/c or so hotter @ the sandwich, also i was lead to believe pro-s 10/50 is ok for 120/130 short term but they arent paying for a rebuild are they, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
