Zl1 fluid temps
So I've been searching for the max temperature of all fluid s on the zl1 A-10 non 1le not sure if they would run different temperature.
The reason I'm wondering is I have a i-dash and would like to setup with alerts just incase I run hot or something fails. I feel like my oil temp are a little high but again not sure. Note I'm always running on manual and high rpms. I beat the shit out of it probably like most of us do Sorry for the blurry picture I was moving pretty good . |

Many of us have seen 250+. I was a bit stressed when I saw it for the first time.
I back off when I get close to 265-270. Multiple oil samples have shown no ill effect here. Bang on that thing!

I had 280 at the track on a hot day but it didn't climb past that into the red. This is a 1LE with 15W50 in it so may not be relevant to your inquiry. I think the red line on my gauge is at 300.

I had 288 on my last run of the day around 2pm here in northern Florida last weekend. 1LE with 15 50 as well. Outside air temp was just about 100.

I'm not sure I would want to see 300. Oils I have tested in the 300 degree range have shown signs of breaking down
