So, I took the kit out for my track day this November. Max ambient temp was in the high 60's, low 70's. I dont believe my oil ever peaked over 235-ish. It did a fantastic job keeping everything nice and cool. HOWEVER (there's always one of those, right?), its worthy to note - I recommend getting a thermostatic plate (I didn't have the cash for one immediately), because it can take a while to get warm, and furthermore, under normal daily driving, it really wont even get very warm at ALL. If I could recommend anything to Stillen, I'd recommend at least making an option for a thermostatic plate.

Other than the iffy instructions, the kit is great and does its intended job very well.
under normal driving, are you at least getting to 180? After driving car for about 10 min. My car pretty much stays in the 210-220 range and that's driving like a grandma.
