My oil temperature gauge fluctuates to High when I come to a stoplight or am sitting idle for a small time. Anyone else have this problem? I've got a 99 3.0. When I accelerate from the stoplight/idle, it goes back to normal. And I know that oil's viscoscity is not that thin to fluctuate in temperature, it would defeat the purpose. So maybe it's a faulty sensor? Thanks in advance,

You don't have a oil temp gauge. That's the coolant temp you are looking at. It's probably your thermostat. Also check to see if there might be air in the coolant lines.

 

oh and wtf is with the names of the companies in your sig... those companies make more than one thing in most cases so tell us the parts not the name or are those your stickers?

 

nah i used to have an explained sig but it was too long n ppl complained. i dont like stickers none on the CL or the benz. thanks for the help hobo.
