Zl1 fluid temps

20Bluezl1 · 08-23-2020, 08:45 PM

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!

Thank you hopefully other members chime in with max temperatures on all fluids like engine oil,coolant and trans oil.

Ive seen over 280 at the track, oil tests came back showing no ill effects toward the oil or motor.

Water 221
Oil 279
Trans 227
Afternoon track session at VIR on a hot day. Oil service indicator counts down in a hurry at those temps.

290ish oil is the hottest for me

20Bluezl1 · 08-23-2020, 09:56 PM

Ok so I see tbe number are pretty high. Does anyone know at what temperature should be the maximum. I'm assuming there would be some warning light come on if your to hot.

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.

This is from a recent track day:

Max Water Temp 225
Max Oil pressure 68
Max Oil Temp 277
Max Trans Oil Temp 219

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

Is everyone running with their coil covers off?

I was thinking of removing them as read a member that said they took it off and they where running a couple ⁰ lower.
