quick question:Will an oil cooler lower overall engine temp much?
No. Oil does not play a significant role in engine temperature control.jeepdeepfreak said:quick question:Will an oil cooler lower overall engine temp much?

just a bit o knowledge cause knowledge is power.
oh i used to work for porsche. Cause i dint honestly knwo that until i worked with them every day.
I used to build air-cooled Formula Vee race motors and high performance VW dune buggy motors, along with the occasional Porsche. The effect of oil coolers is slight. If your oil temperatures threaten to rise above 250 degrees, you need an oil cooler, other than that, they're useless; especially on a liquid cooled motor.cklaus said:I think some of the older porsches that where predominantly "aircooled" had oil coolers to help cool the motor too ( i'm running on hear-say from stuff i heard years ago on that).
