00:00:01.040 [Music] 00:00:09.28000:00:09.290 engine or temperatures are as important 00:00:12.41000:00:12.420 as engine coolant temperatures and 00:00:14.20900:00:14.219 should be monitored and dealt with as 00:00:15.95000:00:15.960 well as the coolant temperatures often 00:00:17.72000:00:17.730 are keep in mind the more efficient the 00:00:21.08000:00:21.090 engine oil the hotter the oil will run 00:00:23.06000:00:23.070 as it pulls more heat away from the 00:00:25.55000:00:25.560 journals of the engine and the internals 00:00:27.52900:00:27.539 of the engine the backsides of the 00:00:28.93900:00:28.949 Pistons the oil will heat up more and 00:00:31.46000:00:31.470 therefore will need to be cooled better 00:00:33.20000:00:33.210 now what we normally look for is between 00:00:36.44000:00:36.450 90 and 110 degrees C for normal 00:00:39.20000:00:39.210 operating you might get spikes of 130 00:00:42.65000:00:42.660 140 degrees C in traffic or in 00:00:44.86900:00:44.879 qualifying trim and this is normal 00:00:47.56000:00:47.570 anything under that is completely 00:00:49.58000:00:49.590 acceptable we do see engines that run 00:00:52.22000:00:52.230 extremely cold all temperatures whether 00:00:54.52900:00:54.539 it be a drag race engine or something 00:00:56.77900:00:56.789 that's generally over called and run 00:00:59.11900:00:59.129 really low coolant temperatures and 00:01:01.36900:01:01.379 these don't present problems either but 00:01:04.03900:01:04.049 the consensus has always been running a 00:01:06.83000:01:06.840 Kohler engine will produce less power 00:01:08.84000:01:08.850 than a warmer engine some of the race 00:01:11.96000:01:11.970 cars that we see in qualifying trim will 00:01:14.17900:01:14.189 tape up the front of the car for bitter 00:01:15.62000:01:15.630 arrow and faster times they'll run one 00:01:18.49900:01:18.509 and well into 160 170 degrees C of all 00:01:23.27000:01:23.280 temperature this is this is getting out 00:01:25.64000:01:25.650 there and they know that and they change 00:01:27.77000:01:27.780 the oil 00:01:28.34000:01:28.350 accordingly but between 90 and 110 00:01:31.39900:01:31.409 you're pretty safe up to 140 is fine but 00:01:34.78900:01:34.799 I wouldn't go much more than that and 00:01:36.67900:01:36.689 don't neglect your oil cooling system as 00:01:39.62000:01:39.630 it is as important as your radiators 00:01:42.08000:01:42.090 it's something you need to do you need 00:01:44.42000:01:44.430 to have under control and be mindful of 00:01:47.59000:01:47.600 stay up to note with what's going on 00:01:49.78900:01:49.799 click the subscribe button if you liked 00:01:52.63900:01:52.649 the video or if it was helpful give it a 00:01:54.88900:01:54.899 thumbs up share it with your buddies any 00:01:57.77000:01:57.780 suggestions on future content leave a 00:01:59.71900:01:59.729 comment below we will be checking it 00:02:01.81900:02:01.829 thanks for watching
