Engine and Tranny Temperature

Curious what are people's temps (especially ones with tunes) showing on the Engine Data screen?


Just got my tune, seems like temps are running a few degrees higher than stock. These temps are after running the car fairly aggressively with outside temps around 26C/80F


Engine: 107C (224F)
Trans: 87C (189F)


Thanks

In downtown, when I am pushing my car. Eng Temp goes as high as 112C and tranny at 102C. That is the highest I ever saw in my car. Mind of you, I DO NOT go easy on the car.

I took the c450 to the track last year and the temp got high after 3 30 mins sessions in 80F weather. So for a street car, it will be fine all day...unless you live in an oven... lol

N/A
100 C
89 C

This is after about 45 mins driving 50-90km/hr on twisting road....nothing crazy here but I find the tranny temp high while is S+ for this time period.

Otherwise in comfort mode - it takes almost 30 minutes in city driving to warm up. After 8-10 mins engine is 70C+ and tranny is only 30C

Completely stock

I must have been super baked or something because when I originally read your post, I seriously couldn't for the life of me make sense out of it. Because now it reads just fine to me. So yeah, I'm blaming MJ for this one lol

With similar outdoor temps, after some spirited driving in Sport+, I've seen 104C engine, mid-80's C transmission temps.

For average driving in Comfort mode, mid-90's engine, mid-70's transmission

This weekend, I saw mine rise all the way up to 113 for the engine. 102 for tranny, that definitely does not sound normal to me. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I got up to 238 F engine and 222F tranny on the track the other day, the minute i start the cool down lap it dropped to 206 engine and 209 tranny. tranny definetly takes longer to cool.

edit: most normal driving commutes are 220F or under in traffic or 206 driving. for engine and 189 tranny.
