Normal Oil Temperature for 5.0?

[silex]

It appears automatic vs manual transmissions are running significantly different temps?

My Air Inlet temps are always 10 - 20 degrees higher than outside temperature, Any ideas??

This was this afternoon. As you can see ambient temp 108. Humidity was around 10%. Surface street driving. Never got down to ambient temp.I think it’s probably due radiating heat from asphalt roadway. I never got on freeway to get higher airflow through radiator.

I've read that 220F-230F is the norm for engine oil temperatures, pushed as high as 260F-270F in extreme conditions. This is NOT the same as cylinder head temperature or engine coolant temperature.

I have 2024 GT Premium with kooks long tube headers, corsa double h pipe and stage 2 whipple kit and mine runs anywhere between 195-225 if I’m ripping on it and 90 degrees outside.

Just seeing this thread. Recently install the OEM oil cooler on my non-PP S650. Oil temps have not dropped as I would have expected them. I am going to install the PP radiator as it is 17mm thicker and should have better cooling capacity which would impact the inferred oil temps. The picture is from earlier today. Hoping to install the rear diff temp sensor and harness later next week.

Above is a thread that compliments this discussion.

What are normal oil temperatures for the 5.0?
[/QUOTE]

Oil does not even start burning off water vapor or deposits until 230 or so (needed from time to time). Synthetic oil does not start to break down until much higher. I'm not sure why everyone is worried about the oil temps on these cars, they seem to be running right where they should be.

More an issue of simulated display. If the ‘gauge’ aint accurate who’s to say it really works.

I was using forscan and passed a setting that can be changed for weather or not it has an oil cooler, you may need to have that changed.

I have a s650 non pp at just over 16k, its temps hover at 235 while cruising with ambient temp of 78 on flat freeway at 75 mph. The temps have only been rising since i passed the 10k miles mark. I cant do a full canyon run anymore as temps regularly reach 280f. Ive complained to ford multiple times as it drops me into limp mode...

At 10k miles the average temp was roughly 210
Spirited it reached 230

At 13k miles it was 230
Spirited it reached 265

Now at 16k its 235
Spirited it reaches 287 (limp mode kicks at 280)


I think they need to recall them to get the oil coolers put on.

Wish these cars came with a cooler regardless of trim. Highest so far is 257 after sprites driving. I would have to see what a non PP gt sees on a track day.

People need to stop obsessing over these temps and second guessing Ford engineers. And they also need to stop conflating oil temp and cylinder head temp. The only reason why it's even a discussion is because we now have a guage I'm front of our face 24/7. Before the S650 came out, no one ever gave it a second thought unless you had a GT350.

And the people putting oil coolers on non PP cars need to understand that oil temp is determined by a computer algorithm, not an actual dedicated sensor. So if you add a cooler, the computer won't know that or factor it into its calculations unless you do a software update.

That’s actually pretty helpful. Thank you
