i was cruising back from a local meet and noticed my oil temp gauge pegged at 150(the highest reading). the cluster temp was fine and car was running fine. was not doin any type of aggresive driving. I did notice the gauge go back to normal temp during some upshifts, but go back to 150 once in gear. this was around 8ish... just took my car out again and it warmed up fine and gauge was working fine.. go onto the highway and do some light cruising still fine.. Proceed to a on ramp, WOT the gauge goes back to 150. suggestions
i'm thinkin theres a loose connection somewhere.. obtw this is the oem gauge pack. my buddy says that the sender goin bad on the oem's is a common problem, but i havent heard of this before.
I see about 190-200*F during normal driving....depending on the outside temp. In traffic...lots of stop and go about 90*F I will see at the most 210*F and will stay there until several miles of straight driving. My oil temp light comes on at 212 and I have NEVER seen that.
I suppose if I put it on a track I'd see upwards of 220*F.
FWIW, i just went and abused my car a bit....about 86*F outside....my oil temp at the most was 208. when i noticed coming down to idle, my vacuum was the HIGHEST it had ever been....26" solid.
I let the car idle for a few minutes in my driveway and the oil temp came down to just below 200*F
To the OP, i would guess you have a sending unit problem. Try out the DaddysSCP gauges...I have them and love them.
actually i have defi's and my oil pressure gauge reads extreemely low all of a sudden. i have the warning light and sound on at like 1.0 and for some reason it kicks down that low. but i know i have oil in the car (especially since i frequently check it and i just changed the oil). i think my oil pressure sender is bad or something.

Hey everyone, :coffee:
Id like to start a discussion about ELH sizing/specs. As we know, there are many kinds of ELH out there. One thing i cant seem to find enough info on here or other forums is about the piping size. This can be a big factor in determining the power someone will make when...
Ive noticed that sometimes at a red light my 2019 sti would sometimes have the rpm "bounce" which I now understand is seen as normal on these cars. However I more recently noticed that my vacuum at idle fluctates rapidly by about a pound to a pound and half. This only happens sometimes and only...
I’m sorry if this has already been addressed, but I’ve googled the 2015-2018 STI’s and I’ve heard that the engines end up having problems and some even getting blown early. I’ve heard Subaru not covering these cars in warranties. Can someone shed some light on this subject? What are your...

I searched most of the posts already, didn't exactly find anything that matches my case. I am sorry if I post this to the wrong forum.
My 12 STI hatchback is pretty much stock. It only has the cobb intake and kartboy shifter and bushings.
The noise happen in the following scenarios:
