Oil temp 235

geesh, mine never goes above 225
Here is the problem. Half of my commute I rarely get passed 2nd gear because it is literally bumper to bumper rush hour traffic. So when the temps start hitting high 80's/low 90's, 230-235 oil temp is not uncommon. It never gets higher than that though.

Recently added one of the finned oil filter caps.
Not sure how much it helps but on a recent 3 hour drive, temp 80F with drive starting at 6PM, I found the car held a constant oil temp of 217F at 75mph.

Before the oil filter cap it would run 220-225F same situation.

Not sure impact but thought it was interesting. Looks good also.

There is no way a finned oil cap reduced temp at all. It's a gimmick dude.

Looks like a nice upgrade. Not sure if anyone on here has one. If so, maybe they can chime in.

The extra capacity should help with keeping temps down, since there is more oil to heat up. The added baffles are a nice touch also.

I know.
But thanks for education.

However it is dissipating heat. Finned cooling has been around a while.
Might have zero overall impact but it is a functional part.
It was also well made and fit perfect. Replacing plastic.

For good looking only I will pull the trigger on this and if it reduces the temperature by 1C it will be 70 bucks well spent IMO.
Still thinking very seriously about upgrading the oil pan....

230s are not a thing of concern at all. I was up to 260 at a track day a few weeks back. Normal driving 220-230 range

Hit 230 yesterday while doing a 4 hour spirited drive, did not reach 235, but i wouldn't be concerned if it did. Temp was 96 degrees out.
