Earlier today driving long distance from SoCal to AZ while on I-40 Eastbound climbing some "hills" (not even a major grade) going around 75mph the oil temperature 🌡️ reached the RED mark during the "climb" on I-40. The "climb" was not even for like ten minutes. But I also noticed the "Charge-air Press. (TURBO psi) sustained at 15psi for about ten minutes while the oil temperature gauge reached the RED mark.
Please see attached picture.
The outside temperature reached as high as 113 degrees fahrenheit. When the above happened it was around 110 degrees fahrenheit outside. No warning lights were triggered on the dashboard display though.
As soon as I let off the gas peddle and the turbo turned off to zero psi, the oil temperature went back down a notch within about 30 seconds.
Should I be concerned?
BTW, my AC is now fixed. Chilling in the GLB even though it is like 110+ F outside. I will post detailed copy of the service paperwork with the parts replaced under warranty.
