High EGT at Low RPM
So its goes like this, I forgot to empty the catch-can. And then suddendly there is oil allover the underside of the hood. The catch-can overflowed and oil was allover, smoking like crazy. Since that day, my 3rd runner EGT's are extremely high. More than usual. Even at low RPM's, going about 80km/h the EGT is around the 1100F area. I would get that around the 100km/h area. Not exactly sure, but the question is why would my EGT's jump up so high? My wideband is reading 14-13-14-15 air fuel? Seems weird? Ever since the "Catch-Can" incident it has been like this, the car was running good too?
If anyone out there has any insite on this please let me know!
Thanks

Re: (turbotime)
The car is so-so, idle is a bit lumpy...and the EGT's are high. I have empited the catch can. After i emptied the catch-can i did a oil change. But after doing the oil change i realized that i used the winter cars oil. I usally run Motul 15w-50, i used Mobil 1 10w-30. That wouldnt have any cause would it?
