stick on cooling fins
 

Anyone know if there is a similar product out there? Attachment 90111 this is a pic of ARC cooling fins but I dont see them for sale anymore and cant find anything else similar.

ARC Cool Fin Universal

ARC Cool Fin - RHDJapan

ive never heard of these before. Im surprised that ARC makes them, must be good stuff?

Simply adding these metal fins to the oil pan has kept my oil temps about 10 -15* cooler, confirmed on two different 370's.

They use a special heat conductive adhesive (not regular 3M tape!), and it does help pull heat away, as would be expected and as advertised.

I have 2-3 all over the underside of the oil pan and another couple on the dif. On the dyno, oil temps drop down faster between pulls with them as well.

In normal somewhat spirited driving in FL i typically see temps around 200* - 205* F tops, and logged around 207* F on Cipher. In prolonged drives in the heat -- 220* tops. I've never seen it go past that after the fins were added, whereas before it might creep as high as 235* -- still not hot enough to really worry, but the fins are very cheap and do actually work as claimed.

I also have two stuck on my diff cover :tup:

I think they would look better if they were black....but if not anodized black, adding black paint may hamper their heat dissipation.

Can you still bolt on the bottom protection plastic cover thing underneath the oil pan with the fins installed?

yah, pretty sure you can. but it would be good to add vents to have air flow over the heat sinks to maximize efficiency.

btw, isn't arc out of business? if so, better buy them while they last. :D

:iamwithstupid::ugh:

Those look like the fins I have on my computers RAM.

Ya want to buy but the first link dosent have a add to cart and the second I dont trust without using paypal. Anyone know of another place to buy them or something similar? I found these on amazon Attachment 90138 maybe we could use these and get some of that tape?
