Around town, that's likely the case: oil not much greater than coolant
temps. On the track is another story.

My suspicion is that the stock oil "cooler" is actually there to aid
the oil in coming up to temperature more quickly. The coolant
reaches operating temperature before the oil does.

Subject: Stock oil cooler
Does anyone know how much cooling the stock oil cooler actually
does? I’m in the process of wrapping up a cooling system re-route
and had decided to disconnect the stock oil cooler/throttle body
heater circuit. Given that I was seeing 225 degree coolant temps on
the track pretty regularly, I’d think that the oil cooler would be
doing more heating than cooling. However, since I don’t yet have an
oil temp gauge, I don’t know what my oil temps are. Thoughts?
Thanks!
Shaun
