Get some 3M tape and cover the oil temp gauge, you will be much happier....
For the 20th time, there is no direct correlation between oil temp and engine power. You might heatsoak the bay and raise the IAT and therefore lower timing. I looked into the VVTC system, oil temp sensor doesnt seem to tie into it unless it does something mechanical |

High oil temp=thinner oil=less friction=higher fuel efficiency. There is a reason why a lot of car uses 0w20 and 5w20 oil now (they are as thin as urine)
It's all in your head and there are many variables to fuel mileage. I can get 1.5mpg extra by pumping my tire pressure to 45. THere are studies made all over with the Prius guys. Check with a guy with an oil pressure gauge and see his reading at a particular RPM at 160 vs 210, the pressure drop would probably give you a better indication of how well the oil is flowing and therefore show you if your engine is running okay. For the most part, oil's job is to lubricate your engine, leave the cooling part to coolant/water..... |

Funny enough they said one other guy was waiting for the oil cooler too (I was waiting longer at 3+ months). Is it the same dealership? LOL. I did talk to the guys there and they said that they couldn't wrap the lines to get rid of the noise as it would void the warranty or some crap. =( That was a bit lame but the sound doesn't bug me THAT much so I will live. |

I did not do it to elimiate noises, but to prevent any chafing of the lines against other parts. Food for thought. |
I've seen a couple of threads on oil coolers causing whining noises, the car whines a lot without one. Even after you turn the car off with the clutch in it whines, and then you let the clutch out and it stops. I had the hood off of the car for repainting and it was really noticeable, this was just before I installed an oil cooler (Z1) this week, no change in sound afterwards. YMMV but I think it's the way it is.

IMO it's best just to order a oil cooler kit from Z1 and get the heat shrink sheath's with the kit. If you already have a kit just order the sheath from them and install. You will have to remove at least one end of the lines on both. Both well worth for a couple of reasons. I still would install heater hose in the more vulnerable spots. Which for me was around the crash beam and the frame in the engine bay near the sway bar. Which is not seen in the pics below.
