Overheating in engines can be caused by series of issues but not limited to water cooling(gasket) but engine oil overheating. Most People start throwing parts at a problem they never diagnosed!!!!

The keep saying but there is water in the engine i topped it up myself and several time. Ultimately, the overheating problem starts affecting other parts in the car.......hoses, tubes start boiling, splitting and bursting like craze.

lol

my former pijo 406 has an oil temp guage

it goes up when the engine overheats grin

I guess that's normal... But I think what Ricki was trying to say that(poor) engine oil could cause overheating.
I don't know If I got him right.. Trying to learn though.

low engine oil level can cause overheat...oil does more to bring down temperature than does coolant

Roughly 70% of cooling is handled by oil, 30% by coolant and ram air

Yeah but most of our petrol engines will probably seize up "knock" first due to lack of lubrication before overheating due to oil comes to play.

As long as my motor does not have an oil-cooler, I will not be bothered about engine oil overheating ...

If Oil gets hot - transfers heat to block - Coolant cools block

All avenues are being looked at. Right now, radiator will be changed as well.

Most big engines have an intercooler or separated radiator for cooling engine fliuds used for various purposes be it engine oil, aircon fliud, transmission/gearbox fluid and/or turbo charged air.

Other vehicles have both water and engine oil cooling combined to use one radiator but with separate trigger to initiate cooling as when required.

My car system is the later. The engine oil temperature sensor went and sh*t load of overheating started.

Wen this happened u can see smoke coming out of de exhaust pipe as de car burns oil and due to high temp it gets thinner loosing viscosity.

Nothing u can do will rectify dis problem unless you change the engine oil/coolant sensor and any oda damages it causes.

A simple scan isolates the issue and was fixed.
