Thanks for that! So it sounds like this is semi-normal. If its not damaging the car I don't know if its worth the trouble of fixing it right now. Maybe I will try to get it fixed on my next oil change.

Mind if I ask what you paid for the factory cooler installed?

With tax, and cost of the oil change (to install) with the ester oil it came out to around $1150 out the door.

On the way into work tonight (cooler out) I didn't go over 168 F while I was on the freeway for 40 miles.

So changes were:

Hot day:

235-240 -> 185

Cold/normal day:

220 -> 168

Mountain road:
265 (turned off engine) -> ?

Also I seemed to get ~1 MPG better than usual got 28.5 MPG instead of around 27-27.5.

I am thinking on Sunday I will take it out to Glendora Mountain Road and see how it handles things this time.
