2012 Z Factory Oil Cooler - PIC AND PART NUMBERS INSIDE

psibrr

I've read somewhere that the 350's had the same cooler. I do not know
if the track group made an issue about that, they just added their XY-row
air cooler up front and put pedal to metal.

I would imagine a 'die-hard' tracker would remove 500 lbs of 'deadweight'
'stock crap', such as a/c, door locks, resonance plates, stereo, etc., and
that putting an cooler up front is standard.

Back to DD reality, with light city & sub-100mph hot days the issue for me is
that the oil is too cold! 212F is the reference temp for oil viscosity standards
but I can drive 25 - 32 mile one way and temp just crawls up to 200F.

Only seen 220 stuck in traffic for 15 mn, or highway backup for that time
after doing 75-95 for 10min. Still, that's just 8F over ideal, and with full
ester synth that should not be a problem.

The z is an optimized DD, if you want specialized track, just do it. I would
gripe about the fact that for the price, the HP needs upgrade about 100,
though with 2 more cylinders, the weight would reduce the w/p gains.
