    Engine Oil temperatures when towing or hauling large loads

    01TwoForty......thanks for your response and I agree with your thoughts on the oil cooler. After your info on synthetic oil breakdown temps, I did some study on that. From what I have read, the total breakdown of synthetic oil is just above 400 degrees but with some degradation starting at 300...

    Engine Failure on EcoDiesel

    I can't recall anyone and including the most frustrated that didn't love this truck. The concept, design, comfort (ride and quiet), mileage and appearance just beats anything I would have expected out of a truck.....we love it! With that said, after our major oil cooler failure that required a...

    Engine Oil temperatures when towing or hauling large loads

    Should I think this is normal? This is a picture of my temps just as I exited the freeway after a 8 mile steady incline (altitude gain of about 800 feet} at 60 MPH and a outdoor temp of 50 degrees. My only load was a RZR side-by-side in the bed. In summer months, I often tow my much heavier...

    Engine Oil temperatures when towing or hauling large loads

    What are other members are experiencing for engine oil temperatures at varying loads? I read a post that implied that there is a higher percentage of engine failures in EDs that are used more often for towing and hauling heavier loads. Could this indicate that the oil cooler is undersized for...

    Reported problems on the EcoDiesel

    This oil cooler problem has me in a knot. Chrysler is offering me a MSRP exchange and I'm struggling with what to do. This exchange offer came as a total surprise. We love our ED......this truck is perfect for us, except for reliability and mostly related to the oil cooler issues. I can't...

    Do you think the use of this aftermarket oil cooler void the factory warranty?

    Oil temp

    I have a 2015 ED Big Horn trim. I scrolled through the display options again and I evidently don't have a engine oil temp read out.....other than the "C" to "H" indicator. Thanks for your help

    Oil temp

    I can't seem to find that.....is it in the manual somewhere? Has any member observed their oil temp when towing at near tow limits. I found the following note. "High oil temperature in excess of 240°F (115°C) will break down petroleum oils and cause oxidation, which in turn forms deposits...

    Oil temp

    help......I was wondering how you members are seeing your actual engine oil temps? My oil temp gauge goes from "C" to "H"? Am I missing something? Thanks for any help

    New Member introduction

    Hello John. Very interesting to read your comment. How confident are you in your source for this info? When I google "HOAT and OAT", I can find information that indicates that both "can" be aggressive towards solder and metals. It is very difficult to weight the alternatives for us when we...

    Update....Since the above post, we made a 2nd trip to the dealer and they flushed the system again and put on a new coolant recovery bottle. We had been checking the bottle daily and also the engine oil level. The bottle had become a real mess, but the engine oil held perfectly at the "full"...
