Subject: Re: Oil Coolers by dan0617 on 2012/3/4 23:59:26 I got a 3 row cheapie radiator and it helped quite a bit on coolant temp. Oil came down about the same amount. SPAL fan, and it helped a bunch more. Oil stays about 20 or 30 over coolant, but now coolant is in the 180 range, and oil is in the 200 to 210 range. Before coolant was in the 210 range and oil was in the 230 or so range. I think getting the coolant temps down is the first step. An aftermarket oil cooler would be the second step. This is with a pretty high powered 383. Thermostat is a 160 but fans kick on at 180 and off at 170. And the fan does cycle on and off unless it is 85+ degrees outside. |
