Nissan Motorsports Oil Coolers

chii370

i have one of these. unless its 80 degrees outside it actually works TOO well while driving normaly. if its kinda chilly outside, and im driving on the highway at 80mph it wont even get above the lowest reading on the guage "140" i think.

but at the track, ive never seen it above 210 with the kit, using royal purple. and thats going balls to the wall for multi lap.

downside imo is that it cost me 1100 with installation........

You should really put a blockoff plate on your cooler in those conditions. Driving around on too-cold oil is bad for the engine, too, especially if you push it hard at those temps. I usually shoot for a 180 minimum before I ask the car to work very hard, and I don't think I'd be comfortable even on a low RPM highway cruise if I couldn't sustain at least 160. If you're off the bottom of the gauge who knows how cold it is really.
