Everyone with oil temp issues

ADmaster71690 · 07-18-2009, 06:58 PM

I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but are there any other (perhaps less effective) methods of cooling the oil that don't involve rerouting the oil?

Would adding air ducts from the front bumper to the oil pan create a cooling effect? Or what about an electric cooler positioned down there?

These would of course not be enough for track users, but may lower oil temps to normal levels for street driving. It would also be much harder for Nissan to say your warranty is shot.

Am I remembering correctly, that you mentioned sometime back you were thinking of doing this mod? This is your car correct? And if so, how well is it working? Thanks!

Yup....I did it, but can't really say how well it works as I have a cooler as well....Temps havent exceeded 215 here in Hot NC since I did it though!

Thanks, I would guess any mod to move air through the engine bay would have to disapate the heat to some degree.
