31-10-2017, 08:32 AM #121Quick google search apparently for my engine the "normal" oil temp should be between 75 and 90C - so cooler is OK. Heat is the enemy, something the MR2 turbo suffers from in the sweat put of its engine bay!!

I will be changing the oil again over Xmas, so will put in the correct type for this application, I am sure there is one suitable.

31-10-2017, 10:19 AM #124Yeah I was going to make the same comment on the oil temp. Sometimes people get carried away with oil coolers etc, and on a cold day they might find the oil never warms up properly so never does its job properly. It's possible to get an "oilstat", kind of like a thermostat, so you can have it that the oil cooler only comes into operation when the oil gets warm enough, thereby getting the best of both worlds (i.e. warm enough to work at its optimum, but gets cooled down if it gets too hot).

Maybe the oil temp is showing lower than before because I am being very careful of the clutch i.e. gentle driving and little tubby use, changing gear at 4K RPM. Anyway i went out side to have a look ar the gauge - I did miss read it, the numbers are very close together, post temps changed.
Anyway it is still within normal operating guidelines and perfectly fine no issue at all. 82C is optimum, 110C is warning light time - depending on what you are driving of course.
Oh I filled it up this morning and the MPG is 33, that was motorway at normal speeds and round Milton Keynes about 300 miles so a good average.
