    Oil Temperture

    I just changed the oil in my 69S and it is very hot this week here in Mid Atlantic region. I am using Valvoline VR1 20-50 with zinc.

    Usually my oil temperature is around 80 - 100 C.

    My driver's manual recommends oil temp never exceed 130C. (I put a little white grease pencil mark at 130)

    How much damage to the new oil would I do if I drive my car in this hot weather and oil comes up to 110 C?

    Is it a concern?

    Thanks-

    Here’s a nice quick article…

    110C = 230F

    You should be fine.
