Is an oil temperature gauge reading of 120 normal for a BMW?
1 Answers
An oil temperature gauge reading of 120 is normal for a BMW. However, if the coolant temperature reaches 120 degrees, it is abnormal. In such cases, the vehicle should be immediately stopped and turned off to allow the temperature to cool down naturally; otherwise, it may affect the normal operation of the vehicle. When a car is in motion, the combustion of fuel and air mixture in the engine cylinders causes the oil temperature to rise. Engine oil plays a cooling role for the engine, and a temperature around 120 degrees is considered normal. BMW is a German automotive brand under the BMW Group, featuring models such as the i, X, Z, and pure numeric series (1, 2, 3, etc.), along with the M series (BMW's official high-performance division) based on improvements to these models. For example, the BMW X5, the brand's first four-wheel-drive SUV, has dimensions of 4909mm in length, 1938mm in width, and 1772mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2933mm.
