P0298 - ENGINE OIL OVER TEMPERATURE CONDITION - DTC CHART

Description:  This DTC sets when the engine oil temperature protection strategy in the PCM has been activated. This temporarily prohibits high engine speed operation by disabling injectors, to reduce the risk of engine damage from high engine oil temperature. The PCM uses an oil algorithm to determine actual engine oil temperature.
Possible Causes: 
  • Very high engine RPM for an extended period of time
  • Overheating condition
  • Base engine concerns
Diagnostic Aids:  The engine is operating in high RPM range due to incorrect gear selection. This may cause a lack/loss of power or surge.
