How hot does oil generally get ?

[djinuk]

Im just sorcing some cheaper alternative oil seals that sit behind the bottom pulley on the r5's. Ive found a place that can sorce them pretty cheaply however they say the material will only withstand temps of around 130 degree's would that be suitable does anybody know ?

I would have thought so, I'd be concerned if ya oil temp got anywhere near 130

[djinuk]

sweeet, thats what i thought but i just wanted to be 100%.

isnt it suposed to be arround the same temp as coolant?
