I'm guessing this only lets oil go to the cooler once a certain temp is achieved.... Not sure.
If that is true - that would eliminate the need to "duck tape"?
Trying to figure this out for myself too.
Here is a link to the Z1 Cooler: Z1 Motorsports 370Z/G37 Oil Cooler Kit
- At the bottom of there description they talk about the thermostatic plate. |
I have the thermostatic plate. It never fully closes. It's design to let about 10% oil flow through. Once the oil starts to heat up. The plate will open to 100% at around 180F.
So if I'm driving in weather less then 50F. I will reach through the front bumper opening and place 2 or 3 strips of duct tape across the bottom rows of the cooler.
