Years ago I had a Golf Mk 2 GTi, that had an oil temperature gauge (and oil cooler) and gave pretty similar readings to your car.  Never took it on a track though, unless maxed out on the M45 counts...

What happened ?

What is the problem ?

please share 😊

If it is MT, then it is less of an issue. Not that the oil would not overheat, it would still do as MT don't have oil cooler either and the oil would still need to be replaced. It is just that it is cheaper and more viable to replace oil on MT, than replace ATF in AT. Other thing, because MT is less sensitive to oil level it is easier to add oil cooler to MT, perhaps that is something you should consider if you planning to visit the track from time to time.

Thanks Linas,

Oil Cooler is definitely something I am considering. Since , I may not be a hardcore trackday driver. It is just going to be my 1st time track experience, I am not talking about lap time, speed.... I just want to protect my car and safely finish the whole day event. 

So.... hope there is one IS owner who also install OBD2 meter can tell me what is his situation.

Sounds pretty normal to me. You want it over 100c to drive off water condensation.

What pressure are you getting? As long as you can maintain good pressure those temps should be fine

NemesisUK, 

I can't read oil pressure, just water temperature and oil temperature. 

You said over 100 is normal, but normal city driving reach 115°C , what do you think ?

I asked the same question to some others, some said the location of the default Oil Temperature Sensor also will affect the temperature.  Well , I don't know and I also don't know where the oil temperature sensor is ......

Sorry Guys , I should mention it earlier. My car is 06 IS250 Sport MT.

I am not quite sure, but I always heard my friend said good oil temperature is below 100°C even in race. And if above 115°C , then it is time to cool down. The OBD meter also has its default Oil Temperature warning at 120°C.

And it is easy to reach 115°C in normal driving inside CITY. So, just wonder if it is normal.....

Thanks in advance 

Hi Guys,

I am planning to bring my IS to trackday just for fun. So considering basic monitoring gauges. 

I just bought an OBD2 multimeter from eBay for basic monitoring. I found out that my car oil temperature is abnormally high. Easy over 100°C on normal city driving. And easy over 120°C if have push it hard for a little bit.

Do you guys facing any similar problem ?

Thanks 

There is something called padal dance in AT model, which can switch off the Traction System. Just want to find the MT version of it.

And I found something,  but I don't work.

Everybody, let's try and tell me if you guys succeed. 

Anyone know how to switch it off entirely? 

Wow, Thanks a lot

it good to know that , I don't need to remove the door panel to fix it !

but how about the memory seat problem ?

Seems it is not link with the mirror, any ideas ?

Hi all,

I just bought my 06' IS250 Sport MT ,and found out that when put to Reverse, only passenger side mirror will flip down automatically. 

And I also found out that driver side mirror can move left and right , but can't move up and down. Also, no memory seat function (but passenger side ok). However, the steering wheel can still go up when switch off.

Is the mirror and memory seat is somehow linked? 

Thanks
