It's not a video game, successfully bolting it onto the car once does not means its function will be accomplished or sustained. |

The rest I agree with and I check my lines and fittings regularly. One of my fears at the track is having an off and tearing it off wear it is mounted. I will be moving it this year but it is still susceptible to debris. So it will be getting a duct and putting a screen in front of it. |

Any thoughts on going without the Forester XT oil cooler setup, as in stock with no oil cooler/warmer, in proper winter conditions (<0F)? Especially when one has a short commute, but will happily make 20min+ trips regularly.

You guys should talk to some oil engineers.
260-270 is nothing on a modern synthetic. |

My point: you don't do yourself any favors trying to fix problems that don't exist. I would bet that oil coolers on these cars have caused more problems (and more serious problems) than they've solved for cars that track 15-20 minute stints at a time at HPDEs. Casual HPDE track usage just doesn't degrade good synthetic oil terribly quickly. A guy on the Porsche list runs ~8 track days and ~10k miles between changes based on oil analysis, with oil temps in our range of 270-275F. Run good 30wt synth and don't worry about it, I say... |

We're likely never going to agree and that's fine. Again, to each his own. To me it seems silly not to try and keep temps optimal, (oil, coolant, tire, brakes, or otherwise) Everyone's opinion on optimal may vary, doesn't really matter. |

Does anyone know a repubtable 200F thermostat that has an external oil temp gauge fitting?
I'm thinking about changing from my 185F jackson racing thermostat as Winter approaches. |

When I began to look into it, I expected to be getting an oil cooler for the car. After tracking the car and monitoring oil temps, learning more about what synthetic oils can tolerate, and what 30wt viscosity is vs. 20wt at these temps, I decided that for my usage adding an oil cooler was not necessary. That is my opinion, but it is a better-informed opinion than my previous one. It seems silly to me to spend $$$ on a piece of equipment that adds multiple failure points if it isn't a benefit. As far as I can tell, 270F isn't an issue, oil pressure isn't an issue, viscosity isn't an issue with 30wt, so what's the point? I think a larger pickup tube is a better idea for engines that see a lot of time at redline rpm (another opinion). |
