Is it necessary to ger an Oil Cooler?

Is there anything in particular I should be looking for? And I assume CSC is clutch slave cylinder. So these fail at a ridiculous rate, then?

I've seen my car hit a MAX 230? Even at 200 its fairly high but honestly hitting 200+ is "normal operation" on our 370's. Limp mode from my understanding would be for example if you're lugging your engine, it'll go into limp mode to prevent catastrophic failure. Yes CSC is Clutch Slave Cylinder. For some odd reason, the Slave Cylinder are notorious to fail on our cars. Whether its 50k Miles of 5k Miles, it'll go when it wants. Here's a link to the Zspeed CMAK CSC thread that will direct you to a safer and more effective piece that'll prevent that from happening.

The ECU will start to pull timing at 240F oil temp. The higher it gets, the more timing it will pull. Once it gets to 280F. Then it's limp mode.

Will it go into limp mode just over 220? Mine before the oil cooler did that once in traffic and I remember it wasn't that high. I think someone did say that gauge isn't that accurate so I could've been at 240

Oil temp. No. Got to be 280F. The ECU seeing what the gauge is seeing. Once the ECU starts to pull timing. The car will run worse. There may be another reason why it might have gone into limp mode. But I don't know what the reason would be.

Sounds to me like the car needed some viagra.

lol for like 8 yrs on this board, I've never associated "limp mode" with Viagra, until now

I can never say "limp mode" with a straight face now, thanks BettyZ

You've never used the term "limp-****" to refer to something that isn't working as it should be?
