my GT4 regularly runs 107C until the additional coolers fire-up ad the race cars can run up to 150C, accepting that their oil is changed very frequently.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

More than likely your cooling fan resistor is bust , i's a common problem and an easy fix.
How do you fix it ? And how do you know it broke ?
It shouldn't go much past 80 (if memory serves)...
I had this problem on my 996 , the temp would go well past the 80 mark if stuck in traffic , I brought it to my OPC and they changed out the ballast resistor which sent current to the fan for low speed operation , and all was well .. Temp gauge once again stuck right on the middle of the '80' mark.
Bring it to your local indie , he'll tell you farly quickly if this isthe solution.
I wouldnt worry 90 - 100 is correct. It is suggested by most on here that you should drive you car hard unless it is up to temp of 90.
My 997 runs at 90-95 once it has been running for 10 mins
Maybe my memory is failing me .. I thought anything much over 80 on the 996 was unusual? ..
Also apologies , I didn't realise it was a 997 we were talking about..

Taking 13yrs to check fluid levels makes my OH look diligent....
Oil temperature is very much car dependant ... my GT4 regularly runs 107C until the additional coolers fire-up ad the race cars can run up to 150C, accepting that their oil is changed very frequently.
Porsche (most ?) engines are oil/water cooled ....
