Is a BMW Oil Temperature of 120°C Normal?
1 Answers
An oil temperature of 120°C is normal for a BMW, but if the coolant temperature reaches 120°C, it is abnormal. In such a case, you should immediately pull over, turn off the engine, and let it cool down naturally to avoid damaging the engine and affecting its lifespan. Below are the functions of engine oil: 1. Engine oil lubricates, cools, and cleans the engine. 2. It thoroughly lubricates the internal components of the engine, ensuring better performance. 3. Engine oil helps lower the engine temperature, preventing overheating and boiling during prolonged operation. 4. It also cleans fine impurities within the engine, preventing malfunctions caused by clogged oil passages.
