raymondo Member 28 Member For: 20y 1m 2d Posted 13/06/05 04:32 AM Share Posted 13/06/05 04:32 AM I do not know whether this is the same light but I got that light just before my radiator spewed its guts. (faulty radiator that was replaced)You may want to check you are not leaking radiator coolant or have any leaks there?CheersRAY Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18203-engine-oil-temp-warning/#findComment-262558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Monty Member 513 Member For: 17y 11m 9d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 30/06/08 06:16 AM Share Posted 30/06/08 06:16 AM I had the oil overtemp on a track day, 3-4 fast laps, flat out on a stock tune and it went into limp mode.Interestingly on my last track day, with a 250rwkw Nizpro track tune - reduced boost, more timing) I had no such issues. (4 laps per run)Fit an auxillery engine oil cooler if you plan on doing track days.

benjam Member 137 Member For: 20y 1m 28d Location: Sydney NSW Posted 01/07/08 08:15 AM Share Posted 01/07/08 08:15 AM Had mine come on while at a track day too. Lit up and into limp mode at 225 F / 107 C as indicated on my oil temp guage. The oil warning light covers both temp and pressure problems, operation explained in the owners manual.
