Okay, I've been following this thread and I can't decide whether or not I need to be worried about this overcooling problem as it pertains to my individual situation, so I'd like some input/opinions from you guys. Let me explain my circumstances. I work from home full time. The only regular driving I do is to the gym 4 or 5 times a week at 5 in the morning. It takes me about 15 minutes to get there, and it takes about 13 minutes for my oil to get up to 180. So basically, I spend my whole drive getting my oil up to 180, then I shut down. Repeat when it's time to go home afterwards. Other than this, in the course of any given week I might make several quick runs to the grocery store or whatever, and the temps never get up to 180. Do I have anything to worry about? Is my engine at elevated risk for condensation and sludge formation due to what I've described above? Once in a while I'll need to go on an extended trip. Like last week I drove across town over to Forged to get my Uprev rom updated, which was a 45 mile trip each way on Interstates. Even then, my oil stayed mostly just a few degrees over 180. I think the max I saw was 210, and for only a brief period of time. FYI, I only got around to installing my cooler a few weeks ago, after seasonal temps already started to drop, so I have no summertime baseline. Any input would be appreciated.
