2008 PORSCHE CAYENNE oil temperature

Power is the product of efficiency.
Lightweight alloy engine construction.
‘Less is more’ – less weight, more
performance – is a key principle of
Porsche design.
The V8 Cayenne engines have
a ‘closed-deck’ aluminium
crankcase and lightweight
aluminium bedplate. The cylinder
block and its associated coolant
channels are therefore a fully
enclosed system. This not only
reduces the weight of the engine,
it also improves its dimensional
stability. Since the engine is
stronger, it also has a longer
service life.
Other major lightweight compon-
ents include cast aluminium
pistons and aluminium cylinder
heads. On the Cayenne Turbo, the
pistons are forged to compensate
for the higher loads.
The Cayenne V6 has a cast-iron
crankcase and one-piece cylinderheads in die-cast aluminium. This
combination produces high power
output while reducing the weight
of the engine.

Lightweight construction used on the V8 engines
Consistent performance and a longer service life.
Engine cooling system.
Each engine remains within its
optimum temperature range at
all times. Clearances throughout
the engine are extremely small,
thereby reducing wear. The entire
cooling system is designed for
prolonged
heavy-duty use, e.g.,
off-road driving or heavy towing
and carrying applications.
Emissions, noise and fuel
consumption remain low, while
power and torque are improved.
Lubrication.
The V8 engines use dry-sump
lubrication to ensure a consistent
supply of oil in all load conditions.
The oil reservoir is located inside
the engine. As well as saving
space and reducing weight, the oil
is always there where it’s needed.
Oil is circulated around the
V8 engines using a demand-driven
pump and two-stage scavenging
system, providing optimum
delivery in even the toughest
scenarios.
The V6 engine has a wet-sump
lubrication system that is
also designed for challenging
conditions, e.g., performance
road driving or extreme off-road
gradients.
A high-performance engine can
only maintain its optimum capability
over a long service life if all com-
ponents are operating consistently
within a specific temperature
range.
The V8 engines have an optimised
coolant management system offering
effective temperature control
throughout the engine. While 20 %
of coolant flows longitudinally
through the crankcase, 80 % serves
the cylinder heads using the
proven cross-flow principle (from
hot to cold).
On all Cayenne models, the piston
heads are cooled using oil-spray
jets integrated in the main lubrica-
tion system.

There is one fuel that will always be free.
Which is why we make the most of it.
Air intake system.
The Cayenne models are all
equipped with a resonance air
intake system. This simple
technology uses the pressure
waves generated by the inlet
valves to ‘force’ air into the engine.
The effect is enhanced in
the Cayenne, Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS by a two-stage
intake manifold. This combines all
the benefits of a long intake tube
(higher torque at low rpm) with
those of a shorter length (more
power at higher rpm). On theCayenne GTS, performance is
enhanced by optimised airflow
management in the intake manifold.
Although ‘naturally aspirated’,
the Cayenne, Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS provide high torque
ratings across the entire engine
speed range.
Drive
Pressure is often the key to performance.
Turbocharging system in the Cayenne Turbo.
The Porsche Turbo is synonymous
with performance, exhilarating
acoustics and the finest engineering.
The Cayenne Turbo has twin
turbocharger units arranged in
parallel. The low-volume intake
pipes combine with short exhaust
manifolds to achieve a rapid,
emphatic response.
Incoming air is passed through a
filter and compressed by the turbine
units. Its temperature is then
reduced in the intercooler system,
which improves cylinder charging
and limits thermal loads on the
engine.
Boost pressure reaches 1.8 bar
(absolute pressure) under full
acceleration from just 2,500 rpm.In normal road driving (part-throttle
mode), the pre-throttle boost
pressure is reduced in order
to
maximise fuel economy. When
the car is driven more assertively,
the
turbines are ‘pre-spun’ so
as to increase the pressure
available. When the throttle is
finally opened, the boost can
be applied immediately.
Both turbo units are cooled by
dedicated circuits from the main
engine cooling system.This solutionprevents oil degradation due to
overheating.
For the driver, the result is
seamless delivery of phenomenal
power and torque.

Drive
Maximum freedom requires total control.
Electronic engine management.
The electronic engine management
system provides coordinated
regulation of all engine functions
and associated systems in all
operating conditions.
The basic principle of engine
management is simple. Throughout
each journey, the system monitors
a range of input data and compares
it with corresponding sets of
reference values (‘maps’). Key
engine functions, such as ignition
and fuel injection, can be seamlessly
and automatically adjusted. The
results: optimum fuel economy and
lower emissions as well as greater
power and torque.One of the most important systems
controlled by engine management
is the electronic throttle, a
prerequisitefor Porsche Stability
Management
(PSM). Other major
functions include on-board diagnos-
tics and cylinder-specific knock
control featuring automatic compen-
sation for changes in fuel quality.
On the Cayenne, Cayenne S
and Cayenne GTS, the engine
management system controls
the variable-tract intake manifold.
On the Cayenne Turbo, it regulates
the turbo boost pressure.
