This and if your plumbing is not right can have a significant impact on cooling or heating things up.

Just an FYI... The "W" does NOT stand for weight. It actually stands for winter. The lower the number, the lower the cold temperature protection.

I’ve been thinking about fabricating a block off I can slide in for the cooler months. My intercooler is already in front of my oil cooler so it doesn’t have direct exposure. Just a b**** to access lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well I was talking about the oil temp remaining in spec whenever you’re just cruising down the road and occasional mild “spirited” driving. If I got the hammer down the oil temps go up but when the cooler air is steady on it the temps will drop well under that spec temperature. Which I believe is 180 degrees F. But don’t quote me on that just yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Probably because they have the oil temp sensor in the stock location (post cooler) which isnt ideal. I would see 80/100 degree oil temps in cool weather in this location, i switched the sensor pre cooler and saw 170/180 degree temps. This happens because the oil gets overcooled when the plate is closed>limited flow to the cooler and when it mixes with the oil going back to the block you see really cool temps. Anyone else experience this too?

ugh this is the worst part of being in Korea...the gas out here is so unregular that I have to tune at a 91 octane in case a station i go to claiming to have 93 is actually 91....better to be on the safe side than running lower than what i am supposed to
