Herky the shell site is interseting; especially the part about how "instantaneous" temps are about 50 degrees hotter than the sump temps-cool thought. I don't like the idea that my cool oil ins't getting hot enough to burn off the water/condensation that may be in it. Ill bet there are some sick...

herky jim shared that his aircraft oil cooler was shooting for an oil temp of 136 degrees to 185 degrees (converted from celsius to farenheit) if I consider my truck a plane the temps I am getting w my cooler ore ok. no? comments more on the temp oil must reach?

THANKS FOR POSTS I do accept that my cooling systm may have limitations in spite of my excellent maintainance. I frequent a toyota landcruiser forum (ih8mud.com) and the cooling system on my engine is often suspect though there are many with no heating problems at all. like I shared abobe I put...

I will try the cardboard trick XS650-the temp outside and the speed are not the issue in the said scenario. I drive in 100+ degrees all the time at 85+ mph. (radar detector of course) The issue is that long pass on the I15 in cali going from baker into Nevada. On the day I was running this...

thanks people Gary you have been a big help to me in the past. Concerning the heat exchanger issue: the toyota 4.5L 6 in my rig has a factory oil/water heat exchanger bolted right on the pass side of the block-i have never taken it off personally to see what is in it but I have seen pictures of...

thanks xs650 I will be watching the oil temp for more data. My next oil analysis may also be revealing. About oil thermostat sandwhich adapters-i returned a derale thermostst piece because it was machined like crap. i went with the canton racing sandwch adapter cause it is machined nice and has...

What are the risks of running oil too cool with an oil cooler? I installed an Earl’s plate type oil cooler last month. It is a 6” x 12” plumbed using 5/8 id Earl’s hose and a Canton racing sandwich adapter. I installed it on my 96 lex lx450 (same as Toyota landcruiser). My truck (with a 4.5L...

I'm going to get a guage

I got the "transdapt" remote 3/4 adapter installed last night with the WiX filter. (9psi bypass) Due to the dificulty of accessing lines I installed the filter in series before the cooler in front of the radiator. I wanted to put the filter after the cooler but I don't immagine it makes much...

thanks ralph 3 years ago the transmission on an old 89 olds cutlas i had recently inherited from my inlaws started to shift rough and i was sure (and even hopefull) it was on the way out (170,000 miles. I droped the pan to change the transmission fluid in the beast and found about a 1/4 inch of...

thanks silverado ive seen your comments before. you have a trasco as i recal. if you know where such a check valve exists i would be interested

olypic, gary, thanks i will try putting on a reg filter w an antidrain back. Olympic, you may be correct that i shouldn't expect to see a pressure rise. but, the luber i baught advertises that the guage should register and actually climb when luber is engaged. i have conversed with a fellow...

thank you gentlemen i use a trasco filter which has no antidrainback. i fear there may not be enough vol in system to presurize the sytem. my filter is large with drain back and the presure send out does in fact go next to my filter. my engine is a toyota 4.5l in line 6 quad overhead cam with 4...

i installed my new preluber this weekend from autoenginelube.com. ($229) and have a problem. The preluber is a resevoir sytem with a 1qt tank, electric valve on tank and a 20 sec electric timer. it is tee'd into oil presure guage sendout in block and has no leaks. follow my logic below: 1...

thanks ralph i got a "transdapt" 3/4 remote mount. (similar to permacool but more heave-duty)i also baught a couple wix 51622-its a transmission only filter w a 7-9 psi bypass. im trying to work out the mount now.

thanks gary...that link was just what i needed...why must amsoil make things so difficut?...anyway I ordered a single filter ford permacool adapter and will likely be installing it in series next week if i get a chance. (im a new resident dr and work like a dog-i check this forum between...

no kidding (wife thing) You've been a big help Gary thanks again-ill get the biggest filter i can.

sorry not finished---hit wrong button Then I guess I would like to run a series circuit after the cooler with a permacool $15 piece so that i could use a full flow or a trasco from it. Is there anything wrong with running the permacool piece w a full flow/trasco in parallel? If i run a amsoil...

gary and silverado, thaks what does the "$50 deliveered" come with? is it possible to purchase only the permacool piece that screws to the filter and has the input and output holes without buying the hoses and block adapter that come with a full remote filter mount kit? if so where is the...
