Kinda off topic but, is running oil below 180 THAT bad? I know oil temps should be between 180-200 or so, but since installing my cooler it won't go past 180 even under spirited driving.
180 means 200 degrees, the temp with an oil cooler is the outlet temp of the oil cooler

On the factory gauge. It can be pretty accurate with a properly placed aftermarket gauge. Or you could be a G guy and didn't get a factory gauge at all.

Can you elaborate this a little further? I keep seeing people say this but I don't understand it

The temperature sensor is where the inlet from the oil cooler is.

What he is trying to say is that 180 is the supply temp of the oil once it has been cooled by the oil cooler & you are not seeing the peak temp of the oil upon the return from the engine.

Im confused, how can a setrab handle a punch after seeing these pics?

The stamped which I have is rock solid and very thick. I'd take it for strength over a normal cooler design with the thin oil channels.

Cooler design question.

I have a Mocal on my 75' 280zt. I am putting at FI kit/Setrab on my 370z. 78% humidity and 88 deg. is winter time highs for me. Stock, my car runs at 220 on the interstate at 78 mph at 96 deg. Get on it a weensy bit and it will be at 240 in no time flat. Plus, it will take over 20min to cool off at that speed.

Why do you ask am I going with a Setrab, better built. End of story.
