OIl Cooler Recommendation

RCZ · 10-19-2009, 12:19 PM

If you feel comfortable piecing it together yourself, get the biggest core you can fit or run dual cores if you can. Then get a mocal thermic bypass to insure it doesnt get too cold during normal driving and DONT skimp out on the fittings. Many people do that and they end up regretting it later on down the line.

As of right now, nothing is covered under warranty as far as oil coolers go. I've heard of many dealerships honoring the warranty when you use stillen parts, but I really dont believe that applies to oil coolers.

For what it's worth, my dealer assured me that as long as I used a Stillen kit they would honor the warranty. Of course this would not cover a defect in the core or lines. I just wanted to be sure that they would not try to attribute some unrelated engine problem to the oil cooler.

It probably depends on your relationship with your dealer. At least I have some level of assurance that my warranty is safe.

I am not sure about the Mocal thermo sandwich plate. It opens up at 180 deg F. That is not hot enough to boil off any moisture in the oil assuming I cant get the temp up to 212 with that setup. A Canton thermostat is set to open at 220 deg F.
