Buying an Oil Cooler

Zat_Zuma · 08-23-2010, 10:22 AM

I did a fair amount of researching before I bought my oil cooler.
Z1 Motorsports offered the best deal and product that I could find.
Z1 Motorsports 370Z Oil Cooler Kit

Once the installation manual is updated, it will be one of the better kits out there. If your worried about oil temperatures during cooler weather and daily driving, you can't go wrong using the Mocal Thermostatic Sandwich Adapter.

If you add a cooler, make sure it has a thermostatic plate. Even with that you're going to need to come up with a blocking plate for fall/winter/spring running in Vermont. YOur oil will never get up to temp. See the DIY link in my sig for ideas on this and an install how-to using off the shelf parts. Many have duplicated it..
