Everyone with oil temp issues

NIZMOZ · 10-30-2009, 10:38 AM

First time my car has hit 260 oil temps at the track the last time I went. Yea a bit too much. But selling the car anyways, so I am done racing for now.

I stand corrected. Sorry for positng the bad info. So how well do the after market oil coolers work? Any recomendations on brand?

A lot of people confuse the power steering cooler for an Oil unit.. On results, hit my DIY ink in my sig and go to the end. These seem to be about the same results as the commercially available kits..

no harm... it's well documented that I'm the first idiot to make that mistake! First track experience today ! Some good, some really bad ...back in January

modshack's recommended DIY kit seems to be adequate for some folks... I'm probably at the extreme end - I have a dual core setrab custom job that allows me to push very hard at the track and never get over 250... i'm still trying to convince my shop to offer this kit to the public... stillen offers two kits, I'd recommend just going for the larger one if you go that direction

btw, I respectfully disagree with our esteemed forum admin that you do not need an oil cooler on the street... if you read back a page, we discussed that in detail... there are conditions where driving within reason on the street you will get you to very high oil temps and limp home mode
