Anal question on Engine oil temperature

[KevofCov]

Hi

bit anal I know but I want to glue a magnet to the sump plug. The magnet is scrap if it gets above 80 degrees c (news to me) - what temp does engine oil normally run at?

cheers Kev

Dunno but it was common on older motors to have a magnet in the sump plug so they must survive ok.

I bought one of these for a Mk 6 ....... cheap enough , keep the original as a spare

Normal coolant temperature is around 90 deg C, so the oil temp is going to be at least that, and higher

my MK7's sat at around 120*
