Ok. Let's pretend that you have friends and are in a restaurant. The meal arrives. Would you correct your friend if they asked for salt instead of sodium chloride? Sugar instead of sucrose?

I prefer highly processed Fructose. It fucks with your brain.

Pass the Fructose please

No, because sodium chloride is sale. Tolerance is not clearance.

Let's get back to oil. Again, I say that an oil cooler is 100% necessary. This platform is rekt without one.

Agreed. Typically thicker oil just allows you to either last a little longer until you die or allows you to stop the clatter when your bearing clearances (tolerances ) are big.

Engine cooling is critical.

Also, the FA20 in the VA WRX comes with an oil cooler (basic, pathetic one but) from the factory.

While my post history speaks for itself, I may also be baiting a certain aerospace engineer just a smidge.

There are a lot of you that have an extensive post history. Being in such a profession has to make dealing with knobs on the internet maddening. I'm an IT guy by profession so I do understand even if I can sometimes be imprecise with certain things.

On a side note, I'm getting old and the 86 platform isn't my first rodeo. I don't claim to be an expert but I'm well versed in the concepts.

No no! He's a different knob. (OMG I'm laughing myself to tears.) So many of us knobs here.

There's a long-standing, perfectly valid difference of opinions between those of us who prefer cooling and others who like to slowly cook their engines with thick oil.

I identify as a handle thank you...

Oh is that what he does for a living lol

That reminds me; I had this kind of debate with a coworker about rear projection televisions and bulb failure. He asserted that the bulbs failed due to frequent power cycles and they specifically failed during power ON. Of course, I told him that how did he know if they didn't fail when you powered them OFF? The problem here is that the observed state of failure would only be determined at the next attempt at turning it on but you wouldn't know if it failed because of the power on action or if it had already failed. Obviously, the only way to check that particular state was to remove the bulb and test it outside the TV and no one was going to do that. In hindsight, it appears that we were dealing with Schrödinger's bulb.

Honestly, when looking at this particular problem, it seems like real motorsports provides the answers. In general, I've observed that pretty much every flavor of ICE engine-based motorsports uses oil coolers. It seems pretty commonplace for a lot of these platforms to employ things like Accusump and remote reservoirs. Cars for public driven roads don't generally seem to use these kinds of things because of cost and complexity. It's not because they aren't a good idea.
