Leonard Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Noticed my Oil Temp was creeping between 100 and 104 this morning whilst literally cruising in to work (16 miles). Pretty sure under normal driving it sits at 90 once warm. Don't suppose this was due to it being zero degrees this morning, or is the car not that clever? Also hit a blackbird and had to pull it out of my front grill when I got to work.. I really need some Zunsports but having to remove them every time car goes back to Porsche seems very annoying...

My 981, still under warranty, was serviced recently and I asked the Service Advisor about the Zunsports before the car went in. He said the only time it would become an issue is for the 111 point inspection prior to a warranty extension. That said, now that my OPC has seen that the car has Zunsports fitted, I wonder what might happen if I had a warranty issue relating to cooling or air-con? (I've no idea whether or not they might keep a record of this.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be worth letting it idle and see if the temp climbs higher, maybe a fan problem? See if you can hear them cut in. On most cars cruising along there is enough air driven through the rads to cool the car without the fan, but maybe the Boxster needs the fans to suck air through? Check coolant level as well to rule out a leak somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jofoley Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 In Sport mode mine runs at about 90-92. In standard mode it run about 102-104 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport is around 90 if not pushing on, but obviously somewhat higher sometimes. Normal mode will be around 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will assess on way home and have a think about the Zunsports Funnily enough, I was bimbling along in moving traffic yesterday and noticed the oil temperature had crept up to 100°, although the water temperature remained at 90°. As soon as I cleared the traffic and hit Sport mode the oil temperature dropped back to the low 90's° Sure you've got nothing to worry about, @Leonard.

Araf Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Get rid of the oil temp gauge and it's no longer a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
