Manny (presure2) and I put in an oil cooler today. I know it is close to useless on an n/a engine but we had nothing better to do in the 95 degree heat.
 my reasons why... 1 the 5s/3s have them stock (water to oil), and the euro STs have them stock (air to oil), so why not do it to mine. 2 oil is the life blood of the engine, I want to take care of it. 3 if/when I do decide to swap (probably Silvertop) it will be a nice add on. comments ? -------------------- |

If the temp is too high, then consider using a high quality oil and then a cooler. If you do fit a cooler, then I'd recommend a waxstat too. It may be hot now, but in the winter, the oil will take much longer to heat up and may not even reach its optimum operating temp. Gary [right][snapback]323485[/snapback][/right] good tips gary, in dustins case, we used a oil sandwitch adapter that has a temp switch in it to control oil flow to the cooler below 180*F  [right][snapback]323516[/snapback][/right] you mean above 180? waxstat, what is that? I know what it does, but i'm curious how if it's diff from Thermo. also, how's the oil sandwich adapter work? This post has been edited by Consynx: Aug 12, 2005 - 5:07 PM --------------------  |
