Question Eot

[dieselfoot]

My eot runs about 10 degrees over mt ect. Should I be concerned with this amount of difference? I have an Edge insight to keep track of temps. The truck is completly stock except for a coolant filter. It is a 2006 4x4 dually.

That sounds about right. Oil is used to cool the pistons by shooting a spray stream of oil directly on the bottom of the piston. This will be hotter than the coolant. So I say you are doing good.

Dave said it right. If you start seeing 20 deg. or more difference, then you may be having oil cooler issue.

How many miles are on the truck?

 

[dieselfoot]

Thanks guy's I was afraid my oil temp was maybe running to high. I put the Insight in this winter so never drove it when the weather was warmer . The truck has 51,000 miles on it.

15 degrees is the new warning point ,, it used to be 25 but ford became more cautious

Thanks, Zmann I hope things don't start getting any warmer
