Is an oil temperature of 110 degrees normal?
2 Answers
An oil temperature of 110 degrees is normal. The reasons for abnormal oil temperature are as follows: Insufficient oil: If the oil level is insufficient, it will definitely not be able to ensure the cooling effect of the engine, and the phenomenon of excessive temperature will not be surprising. In severe cases, it may even wear out the internal parts of the engine, so it is necessary to replenish the oil in time. Of course, it is also necessary to check whether there is any oil leakage. If ignored, the oil level will soon become insufficient again. Oil viscosity does not meet the standard: If the oil viscosity does not meet the original vehicle standard (too low), the sealing performance will be affected, leading to an increase in oil intake in the combustion chamber, and it will not provide good lubrication. Over time, the engine will experience severe wear. Therefore, when purchasing oil, be sure to choose according to the specifications of your vehicle model. If you frequently drive in congested urban areas, consider upgrading to a higher-grade oil (more environmentally friendly and economical).
When it comes to engine oil temperature reaching 110°C, it really depends on the specific vehicle. I always pay close attention to coolant and oil temperature changes while driving. 110°C is at the upper limit of the normal range, and this temperature is commonly seen during high engine RPMs. For instance, when I'm driving on mountain roads or prolonged highway trips, my oil temperature gauge often fluctuates between 105-110°C. The dealership told me anything below 120°C is acceptable. During summer with AC on or frequent traffic congestion, extra attention should be paid to the cooling system condition. If oil temperature consistently exceeds 115°C, it's time to check the coolant circulation. Remember that regular oil changes can help improve heat dissipation.
