I added an oil cooler. It is not done btw.....
My temps went from 110-115C to 85-90C. This is in the dead hot Arizona summer. I fear in the winter time, if you can call it that, my oil may run too cool. This morning on the way to work it was close to 100 degrees at 8 AM and the oil failed to break 82C on the highway at 3200 rpm's for a 20 minute stretch.
The thing is, if I add a thermostat, it may help the oil get hot sooner, but it opens at 80C anyhow, so presumably the oil will alway be real close to 80C. Is this too cool? I assume if I get on it hard and boost alot I could drive temps up some, but in general is 80-90C too cold? I need viscosity so I need 40-50 weight.
Thanks
