Oil temperature

Oil temperature in a vehicle refers to the heat level of the engine oil as it circulates through the engine. Maintaining the correct oil temperature is essential because oil that is too cold is thick and may not lubricate effectively, while oil that's too hot can break down and lose its ability to protect engine parts. Proper oil temperature ensures optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity. Most vehicles have a temperature gauge to monitor this, helping drivers ensure the engine runs within a safe and efficient temperature range.
