Now I also switched to 0-w30 Castrol, so not 100% certain that the cool fins are soley responsible for this, but after romping on it very hard in 90* F FL heat, oil temps stayed below 220 the whole time

I'll monitor temps suring normal driving and report more later

Keep us posted. I'm interested in seeing if this is effective. I know it's a pipe dream, but it would be awesome if these could be used instead of an oil cooler,
