Oil Temperature

Hi does anyone know what temperature the oil is when running in a 2.5 diesel,I want to change the pipes to the cooler ,and was considering using compression fittings to the the original steel pipes. Then I would not need to replace the oil cooler. Any thoughts?

Others have used compression fittings and even Jubilee clips. It's not the temperature you need to worry about so much as the pressure.

I appreciate that,thats why I want to use hydraulic compression fittings, they will handle the pressure, but I am not convinced that the seals will handle the temperature. Thanks

Hydraulic systems get pretty hot in use, temp should not be a problem.

On may race car, I and most of the others simply used Jubilee clips to secure the cooler pipes, never had a problem. Irishrover wrote about it some time ago.

Thanks I will go and see my hydraulics man on monday, and get the pies made.

jubilee clips are more than adequate for engine oil pressure, temp of oil in engine is about as hot as engine is 90 degrees or there about just ensure you use an oil cooler hose

Yep hose clips are fine a proper hose.
