oil temps

[king ranch]

i have a question with 6.0l engine oil temps. what should they run at when towing. how can you tell if your oil cooler is going bad? what are the signs? anyone got answers? what oil coolers are best on the market? etc...

you dont need that its just extra weight.

[!!!PainTrain!!!]

Well tell us, what temps are you seeing to make you ask this question?

Need to know what the water temp is first.

[king ranch]

water temp is running at 186ish and the oil temp is 220 with out any load. with 10000 lbs tt oil temp 250 and water was 200. this was a short pull bout 25 miles with steep grades and slow speeds.

And now you know the oil cooler isn't doing a very good job. The EGR cooler could be the restriction if it is still there.

You're probably going to need to rebuild your oil cooler. EOT and ECT should be no more than 15* apart.
