Oil Temperature

[13BlackGT500]

So I recently bought a 2014 GT500. I did a second gear pull and I noticed that the oil temperature gauge went up significantly. It doesn’t tell me the actual oil temp, but it did raise a lot for just one pull. The oil temp did stay within the range labeled as normal. The temp went back down after a couple of minutes of driving. I then did some more pulls (even longer ones), and the temp did not raise at all. Should I be worried, and what could have cause that? Also, at no point did the coolant temp change.

Well, you’re in Miami, in July smashin the gas on a 660+hp ModMotor.

I wouldn’t get too freaked out about the oil temp rising abit on a hard pull.

I’m in New Mexico now, it was in the low 80’s °F. I did stomp on it but it was from like 50-90mph. So it seemed like a bit much

Point is, it ain’t 30oF where you are, it’s a high performance engine, you smashed the go peddle for a full loaded street pull.

Heats gotta go somewhere.

Yea, I was also reading and its seems there is no actual oil temp sensor. It’s just an estimate based on other parameters

I would call that an odd moment and watch if it occurs again. My 14 is in S. Texas and I drive it in 100 heat and the gauge doesn't change when I get spirited. And I don't have track pack either.

Drove it yesterday, and did a few pulls. Even drove up a mountain road with significant elevation change, and everything looked good. I will keep an eye on it though.

Not saying you're wrong, but I don't recall seeing/hearing that about oil temp. It is, however, accurate for the factory boost "gauge."

Hm okay, I read about it on some forums about the s550 5.0/GT350 so maybe I am wrong

This is how it works.

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) receives data from the PCM over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) communication bus to control the air/fuel ratio, boost/vacuum (GT500), inlet air temperature, oil temperature and transmission oil temperature virtual gauges. The IPC monitors the data received from the PCM and commands the appropriate gauge indication.

I believe you had an electrical communication issue more than a actual issue with motor oil temp based on your statements. If it occurs again check for any DTC communication issues for your IPC. The DTC will start with U

Thank you, I do believe it was something electrical. I’ve been driving the car hard, and that has not happened again since then
