What oil temp is appropriate for a 2006 911S? Usually runs around 200 degrees with a water temp of 175 but was stuck in stop and go traffic and oil temp moved closer to 225. Anything to worry about?

 

Normal.

 

Thanks

 

normal. mine is about 215 in traffic/street and hovers around 250 on track.

 

No problem with those temps.

 

As long as oil temp is below 240, you are fine.

 

That is the proper operating temp. You should avoid revolt the engine high until you reach these levels. When it really starts creeping up is uphill climbs as low speed but high revs because the oil is heating up but there isn't enough airflow to cool as well.

 

Is the wing temp controlled or speed controlled? I assumed it was speed controlled so when the temp is rising during stop and go traffic, is it a good idea to manually raise the wing?

 

The wing is speed-conrolled and primarily designed for aerodynanics to work with the front. Keeping it up in traffic, I don't think, serves no purpose.

It might be placebo-efffect for me, but I think my oil temp lowered a little bit in traffic and a lot on highways after installing the 3rd traffic.

 

Yes the wing is only for aero. It will do nothing to your temps to raise it in stop and go traffic. Based on your post, your car is operating perfectly normally and there's no issue with your oil temp.

It's a well known issue these cars can get too hot oil temps when tracking them and you should add a GT3 oil cooler if you're planning to do a lot of tracking or any extended track runs. They can only handle about 20-30 minutes of track time before the oil temp starts to get to a level where I'd worry about continuing to push the car.

 

The oil temp goes up in stopped traffic because there is no airflow under the car. The bottom of the oil pan, in all its heat-sync aluminum glory, is a bit flat surface moving air will pull heat from.. When at a stand-still that effect is not working so the heat must dissipate through the hotter air that builds up around the pan. Nothing unusual here.

 

Both -

Automatic mode
The limits for automatic extension and retraction
of the spoiler depend on various circumstances
(e.g. driving speed, engine compartment temperature).
Engine compartment temperature
under 122°F/55°C
Spoiler extends at 75 mph/120 km/h and
retracts at 37 mph/60 km/h.
Engine compartment temperature
over 140°F/60°C
Spoiler extends at 50 mph/80 km/h and retracts
at 19 mph/30 km/h.
If automatic control fails, a warning message is
displayed by the on-board computer.

 

Please tell me more about this oil cooler

 

another thing to mind is not only do you have to make sure to keep clean your radiators from road debris and leaves, but also over time, that debris will start to bend/close off many of the little fins of the radiators. little pebbles and sand can clog them too. the last time i had my bumper off, i tried to clean them the best i could and even spent time trying to straighten each little fin. annoying and impossible to say the least.
