If you drive the car under conditions where an oil cooler is required, you may want to consider to change the oil twice as often as well. That will mitigate it somewhat. Quote:
The easy solution looks like this: At low temperatures, the water cooler will have plenty of cooling even with 1/3 of the air intake blocked off. Here is a log warming the engine up at 0 deg ambient (40 f) with the cooler blocked off: The vertical lines are 5, 7, 10 and 14 mins. 1) The oil cooler has no function without air flow, so it's very effective to block it off - just as effective as disconnecting it all together. 2) The car heats up just as fast as with no oil cooler installed. Here is a log with doing a few pulls to 180 km/h (111 mph) on autobahn and then leaving the autobahn and driving normally on back roads: Previously, I had the problem to get the temperature properly up when driving the car on autobahn at ambient temperatures of 5 c (40 f) or less. And that the temperature would drop quite a lot once getting off the gas. With "properly" and "drop a lot", I mean I would have temperatures of low 70's deg c (160 f). Here you see the oil temperature remains fairly constant and that coolant temperature is unaffected. Obviosly, you would want to do your own readings to decide when it's appropriate to block off the cooler and that it doesn't have any adverse effects. Quote:

Are you trying to offload the parts? I only really need the heat exchanger and the longer bolt nut thing.

I could get to the throttle body, but it would be a lot of trouble. But yes, installing the Cosworth kit requires you block off the 2 TB locations.

Got it makes perfect sense. If you're trying to ditch those two parts, shoot me a message with what you're looking for, I'm happy to entertain the idea!

I would think that bypassing at the sandwich plate would be better. Haven't had a look at the sandwich plate design to know if it's possible though.

Better or worse depends on the requirements. Mine is thermostatic control of oil temp to below 200 F in all conditions.

Lots of good info. on the thread above. With 5W20 as the viscosity drops with temperature (as the graph shows at 220F / 7.5 cSt) the oil pump seems to fall off the back end of its curve, losing pressure and flow rate due to slip. |

It is a positive displacement pump and bearings do need the right amount of oil viscosity. At higher temperatures, flow will increase and pressure will decrease, correct. Pressure is a measurement of the oil's viscosity, that is why we worry about pressure. I'm not sure what sensor measures viscosity, or if there is one, but our engines certainly do not have a viscosity sensor so what we have to work with is pressure. Pressure dropping is a sign of viscosity decreasing. I completely agree that people over-exaggerate about oil temperature. If you are pushing your oil temperatures over 230-240 degrees, you are driving aggressively. The owners manual even states to run thicker oils as you drive more aggressively, and that is to ensure proper viscosity at these higher temperatures. The NASIOC thread posted above, which I skimmed, seems to be a pretty thorough thread on oils. I started this thread to discuss different ways of cooling oil, which is what I would say I know more about than actual oil properties in the engine. Hope I helped answer some of your questions though. Thanks, Eric |

Getting closer. Routing is a bit of a challenge but I think I've found some adapters that will fit the bill. I'll do a full write-up including results. Goal is to get it functional in time for the first Cascade Sports Car Club HPDE class this May.

I agree with Tor. I had once on the autobahn oil temperatures up to 132 deg C. Outside temperature was around 15 deg C. This oil temperature was achieved after 5-10 minutes while using 5th gear (5-7k rpm) . With 6th gear (lower rpms) things are better. I am sure that many owners don't have an idea about this, because they are not monitoring the car. Personally, I don't have an oil cooler because there are some side effects like the remaining old oil during the changes. I don't use either the forester solution, because I don't think to be very effective. I just change the oil much sooner (less than 5.000 km), since I don't drive the car too much. Another suggestion is to use 5W30 oil. Subaru Germany suggests this grade. I'm not sure if Toyota Germany uses a 0W20 oil. |
