ARC Oil Coolers for 370z Z34 12.30.08

I dont think it will make it work harder just as long as it is not over cooling. If it is over cooling the engine works harder to make the oil an ideal temp. Kind of like when you first start your engine and it is cold out, your rpms are at a higher range to get the engine warm. I dont think unless it is very very cold year round this will be an issue. Oil coolers are good not bad. I guess if it was a problem you could find a way to regulate the temp and make the oil system bypass the cooler. Cold oil is almost as bad as super hot oil. The ideal point is to keep a consistant range of temps for the oil. Look at a supercharger, they make the engine work harder and so does a altanator but they are not discarded for this reason.
