BLA BLA BLA-highjacker!

It turned to the corvette because the car had the exact mod (plate/fin style oil cooler up front) that people are so keen to get--and GM got rid of it. Spent a lot of money to do it, too. It is the only example I can think of regarding an oil-cooler except Nissan, whereupon Nissan refuses to install it, but that logic wasn't good enough for most people, so I went out of my way to post about a company PURPOSEFULLY getting rid of that type of oil-cooler.

Just thought there might be a reason for it and all that. 150-160* oil is bad. You want it 180-220 for normal driving, and if it spikes up to 260-280 on a track day, no big deal as long as it doesn't sit there all day. Of course, with the Z, it goes into limp mode at 260, so you are protected.

Then some people turned it into a GM vs. Nissan thing because that's what fanboi's do when someone mentions another brand.

If you are tooling around the highway in 6th gear at 65MPH and your oil temps are hitting 230° you may want an oil cooler.

My car unfortunately does this. I can make it hit 260 with a short 2 minute run in the twisties where other Zs don't go over 220.

If your car runs hot buy one. If your car runs cool don't.

My Oil Cooler is coming with my supercharger.

I think there is a very logical explanation for this. Your license plate covers what, 30% of the air intake area for the radiator? Get it off there. (assuming your avatar is a picture of your car)

I thought of that also. Moved it over 4 inches, no change. Then took the plate off, no change...

I have one of the cars that runs hot. Nissan

me, but at least I can put in an oil cooler...
