The ideal temps for intake air, and oil aren't close enough to make this a good idea in my opinion. I could possible see running the oil through the radiator similar to the way manufactures handle the transmission cooling duties, but you always have a potential of leaking internally and not knowing about it until its far too late. I think a proper oil cooler set up with a thermostat is still going to be your best bet here.


That's why I love the Z community!!! Thanks for your response. I have continued to do research on this topic, which is how I got back to this thread.

I still have alot to learn as I did not know this and had'nt considered it as a factor. Changes my thinking radically!! I will have to rethink my approach.
