I bought an oil temperature gauge that goes in the dipstick hole, haven't had a reason to run the pressure washer for more than 10 minutes lately. Well I finally found a reason for an extended run. I ran the pressure washer at 4,000rpm for about 45 minutes wide open cleaning small child puke off our 6x12 foot rug.
My wife's rug looks better than new.
The pressure washer engine oil temperature gauge hit 260F on a mild 80f day. So on a 100f day it would probably hit 280F.
I will investigate adding an oil circulation pump and oil filter and recheck the temperature, then think about adding a cooler.
Just adding a filter and some metal lines appears to have cooled my predator engines oil by around 20F.
