i have this one https://conceptzperformance.com/z1-m...34_p_14044.php
edit: added picture .. from a 2014 z.. looks like they used a stillen cooler and its connected over the oem one? so im guessing it will work? |
Who told you that? I think I've pretty much answered your questions over PM.... I'll paste it here and others can fill in gaps if there are any. You don't really need a kit to delete the OEM cooler.. you just need an oil filter stud from an 09-11 model and two caps for the coolant lines (auto parts store). I deleted mine for a while.

re: Temps
When you say "my car gets a lot hotter" are you looking at the oil temp or pulling the actual coolant temp from an aftermarket gauge or OBDII? 220 is very common for cars running only the OEM '12+ oil cooler as it regulates oil temp with coolant. It is possible you need to burp your coolant system if you think its running slightly hot.

no more bogging .. did the ecu reset relearn..
noticed my car running hotter because right now in cali its usually 60-80 degrees.. and in the summer its 90+ and would get to 220. Now that it is cold i was not expecting my oil temp to be 220. Yes sorry my coolant temp is always where it should be. In stop and go traffic i gets up to 220 easily .. sorry im still learning this car. On highway its at 200
i also have no oil cooler installed .. 2015 17k miles
i ordered a z1 25 row thermostatic |
Are you sure this is out of the ordinary? Or just not what you expected?
It sounds completely normal to me... your '15 has a water/oil cooler from the factory so your oil is cooled by the coolant which is over 200F. Your coolant is hotter in stop/go traffic so your oil will be as well. Cruising at a reasonable speed it should be lower... cruising at a high speed should exercise the motor enough that you start to see the oil temp rise again.
When you add the Z1 air/oil cooler you may consider removing the OEM oil cooler as it will kind of be working against the air cooler in some cases.. If so, you'll need to get an oil filter stud for the '09-'11 model years and you can just cap the coolant lines that go to the OEM oil cooler.
Hope this helps!

Oh i do have one ? Is it the one in front of the radiator condenser ? .. Well crap i already received my 25 row lol.
ugh i thought all the models have been the same . I bought the 25 setrab thermo sandwich plate with protective lines. So basically the bolt where you screw on your oil filter will be needed for the cooler to work ? |
The little one in front of the radiator is your power steering cooler. The OEM oil cooler uses the engine coolant to keep the oil temp down, and it looks like a big sandwich plate between the motor and oil filter and has two coolant lines running to it. You may want to pose the question to the community whether it is worth removing or not when adding an air cooler... I personally am not running any kind of additional air cooler for my oil, only the OEM water cooler. |
