For the BMW N20 engine, an oil temperature between 100-120 degrees is normal. Normal range of oil temperature: An oil temperature of 100 degrees is normal. The working temperature of engine oil is generally between 70 to 90 degrees. During aggressive driving, it can reach around 100 to 110 degrees. If the oil temperature consistently stays above 120 degrees, it requires immediate inspection, as it can cause various adverse effects. Effects of excessively high oil temperature: It affects the viscosity of the oil, leading to severe wear of some engine components, and in serious cases, may cause cylinder scuffing or bearing seizure. It can also cause the fuel injected into the cylinder to ignite prematurely, resulting in insufficient compression and reduced power output.
