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! |

"Cairo94507", Thanks for the comment and yes I might swap/change to early bumper which I have in stock.
Thanks Mike Bellis, Krieger, 914_teener, Colingreene and Bandjoey for all your comments/suggestions/concerns! On the details below it seems lowering a tire diameter shows higher Revolution Per Mile. Is that one of the issue since it has 6.1% increase? In regards to the flap, yes it is in there and no other changes made except maybe the car lowered a few inch that may limit air flow under the car and definitely no rags or any materials left in engine area. I also have thermostat to be installed soon. On my former tire 185x65x15 I do get around 3,000 rpm on 65 to 70mph speed. Just to mention I'm using thermo dipstick and that is where I usually get my oil temp. 185/65-15 205/50-15 Difference Diameter inches (mm) 24.47 (621.5) 23.07 (586) -1.4 (-35.5) -5.7% Width inches (mm) 7.28 (185) 8.07 (205) 0.79 (20) 10.8% Circum. inches (mm) 76.87 (1952.5) 72.48 (1840.97) -4.39 (-111.53) -5.7% Sidewall Height inches (mm) 4.73 (120.25) 4.04 (102.5) -0.7 (-17.75) -14.8% Revolutions per mile (km) 824.25 (512.16) 874.18 (543.19) 49.93 (31.03) 6.1% Doc1.doc ( 125k ) Number of downloads: 30 |
