Cat 3208 oil cooler- engine oil temp hi- 89SP
Oil cooler on a 3208 is mounted on the engine block bottom right side. Don't
think there's much to go wrong in the cooler itself. I think it functions by using the engine coolant. I too would replace the sender or gauge or at least use an infrared thermometer to get a sense of whether the oil temperature system is functioning correctly. If the oil is truly running at those temperatures, I would definitely be using synthetic oil until the problem is solved since it can usually maintain it's properties at higher temperatures. Do you have an EGT gauge? If so, what are those temperatures. I think higher EGT's can increase oil temperatures substantially since the oil is running thru the turbo. Has the oil always run at this temperature or is it a recent development? Does it run at this temperature all the time or just under heavy loads like on a steep grade? If it only gets this high under load, check to make sure that your cooling fan is functioning correctly. What is your transmission fluid temperature? If the engine coolant temperature is also high, I'd suspect a malfunctioning thermostat.
