    Hello,

    It has been a long time since the outside water (sea) has had a huge influence on the engine / water temperature drop when the engine is running / brushing the water.

    The engine cools down by 10 ° C every 3 seconds and the water is even faster.

    Is this expected to be fixed?

    Thank you

    I have a doubt that water at 25 ° C cools the engine by 40 ° C in a few seconds.

    I'll made a short video to explain that

    Here is the video:

    See temps at the top left corner (oil and water)

    Lake water temp is 13°C-55°F

    Get an old hammerhead, gas torch, heat it up till the hammerhead is glowing nice consistent color, and then dip it into the water. You will see how quickly water can cool down stuff. Mind you, a red hot piece of steel is around 900 degrees C and it will cool down back to 300 ish in few seconds.
    I'm sure there's some scientific way to calculate that stuff and I'm sure devs did actually calculate it, but backyard science is more fun.

    Sure, but here the 5 liters of oil cools down faster than manifold...

    Oil simulation will definitely be improved in the future, it just barely got added.

    This has already been improved in the previous update.

    Same thing for the water temperature?

    I mean in the previous update it got added, previously we just had oil starvation, now oil acts as a liquid and everything got changed, like every new thing it needs some polishing
