Oil Temperature Data

Oil Temperature Data

Oil Temperature Data

(OP)
I would like to know the extent to which different factors affect oil temperature for a typical gasoline engine, including ambient temperature, RPM, and engine load.

Does anybody know of papers or studies that quantify this?

RE: Oil Temperature Data

It's also pretty open ended, basic high school shop kinda question.

How 'bout fleshin it out a bit for those of us that cannot read minds.

RE: Oil Temperature Data

Pretty simple stuff to figure out.  

RE: Oil Temperature Data

I feel like I may step out of line to responding to this question.  

RE: Oil Temperature Data

Since he's Electrical, I doubt it's an exam question. Since he's asking for quantified data, I would say it's not so simple (or unreasonable) a question. But the data would be highly specific to an engine type and to the vehicle it's installed in, among other things.
