Finally completed my 5 lug conversion. But why is my oil temp goes up faster than before. Is it because I have a lower diameter and wider tires? Or just a coincidence that after my 5 lug conversion there was another issue that makes my oil goes up faster than before. On the same weather condition around 65 degrees F, I used to drive my car for about 3 miles around city which my oil temp does not goes up immediately and I only get around 180 degrees but today I drove it and my temp went to 200.
Any experienced you have had or anyone can help me figure out? Thanks again my fellow teeners and God Bless! |

Car looks cool! Who cares!
Why do those oil temps concern you? Also could be several things......check the oil cooler make sure some garbage isn't in there of some obstructions. Also check your thermostat cable. |

Also check your thermostat cable. My concern is, since I only drove it around 3 miles and my temp was already 200 plus, I was thinking I might be getting higher temp or can probably gets overheat if I drive it longer. My usual temp before wheel conversion with a longer period of time only around 220 max. I got the car last 2011 and I haven't installed or run it with thermostat here in SoCal. |
