Heat soak, what to expect

i suppose a oil cooler is a performance mod cause you can run your engine a lot harder in the same conditions.

ive not seen my oil temp go up that high. 225F is about where i max out even with spirited driving. but my area only goes up to about 95F max..

is it possible to run an inside cab switch to be able to turn the fans on and off and still let the car turn on the fans with a switch hooked up ? i know a guy that did this to an eclipse and it worked great.thoughts ?

Please tell me that's because you have an oil cooler installed. Because mine goes up to 260 on a couple choice backroads here in 80 degree weather and it's reached 270 on the Tail of the Dragon.
