SO what is the Best tracked tested Oil cooler?

chuckd05 · 07-06-2010, 10:02 PM

Oil cooler is next on my list.. its 95+ degrees here, this fourth of July weekend in NY and my car absolutely HATES it..

I had my oil temp 250 just driving spiritedly to the mall ( 100 degree day )... never saw it higher than 240 EVER... now since than its gotten hotter and I feel the car hesitating to go, in this heat the car does not pull nearly as hard when it gets up to temp...

I'm def interested in getting one

I'm using the Stillen large oil cooler with an oil thermostat (because it does get cold in Cleveland.)

At Watkins Glen, temps in the 90s, and VIR, temps in the 95 range, I had no "limp mode" issues. I am a very experienced driver who is able to use full throttle as much as possible.

It's been over 90 in Cleveland this week. In normal street driving (like the old man that I am) oil temp never exceeds an indicated 180.

I'm satisfied.

See the "Datzun 370Z at the Track" thread for my comments. And nice pictures.

Hey chuck what would your oil temps be at the track after a few runs, and what year is your Z?
