Oil temps
Hey all please forgive the lack of knowledge but this is my first bimmer (135i N54) and having some oil temp issues. Just replaced water pump. Any suggestions for keeping my oil temps down? Oil cooler? Radiator? Anything helps. Thanks in advance.

Oil temperature must be above 212f, preferably 220-240. Oil cooler is just there to maintain 230-260 (if possible) range. It is always good to have oil cooler, but don't worry about those oil temperatures. If you are not tracking car, forget it. |

For a month or so some time ago I put an OBDII to bluetooth on my my car and used an app called torque to create virtual gauges of parameters my car does not give me. I was surprised that the maximum coolant temperature occurred at steady cruise. Hard acceleration lowered the coolant temperature. BMW programs our cars to run hot because they get ever so slightly better mileage that way. I don't agree that higher oil temperature is a good thing but it is how our cars are set up to run and trying to change it will be more difficult than I would want to deal with. Better just to use good oil and change it more often than BMW requires.

Basically, running any reputable oil temperatures 250-270f are not of an issue. I ran Mobil1 0W40 293f on track before DME cut it. 230-240f is what all cars run on. My Toyota Sienna minivan runs around 235f. |
