Oil temps with and without the OEM oil cooler

Joeb427 · 08-06-2009, 10:31 AM

My '08 335 without a OEM oil cooler ran at around 240-250F and my '09 with a oil cooler seems to run at 230-240F.
I know it's not much but it's nice to see it run a bit cooler.

Mine without Oil cooler runs consistently around 240-250 on the highway (running between 70-100 mph), never more, unless i'm stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, then i've seen 250-260...

I should have added I was talking highway.
Around town she's at 245.

My 07 Sport e92 without the oil cooler runs around 240-250.

250 ish is about normal for oil temp in a gasoline engine.

I would think the oil cooler would only really help at highway speeds or maybe a bit at 35-40 MPH.
