just driving around Houston during the summer in a spirited manner I use to see oil temps of ~215-220. With my oil cooler I now see temps in the 185-200 range with the same driving. Oil temps never really goes below 185 (I have a thermostatic plate) for me. Oil temps in the core of the engine are likely hotter by 5-10 degrees so i figure the cooler keeps temps in the optimal range.

Installed mine this weekend with a change over to Millers Nanodrive 0W-30 race oil.
It's working really well. Not expecting the oil to ever exceed 220-230F again on track! |

I hit oil temps of 300*f on track my first day at Sebring in June, bone stock, and average temps during the day were high 280's to mid 290's. I sent in an oil sample to Blackstone and it came back great, with no evidence of the oil breaking down. I just switched to 0w20 and saw oil temps in the high 270's, mid 280's (August), and will be running one more day on this oil before I send it in. |

@swift996 Couple quick questions:
1. Where is your cooler mounted? 2. And do you have the stock hood on or a vented ne? From your sig I see stock but just want to ask. I just installed my Mishimoto oil cooler with a thermostatic Mocal sandwich plate in the passenger fog light area and my FBM radiator, and my temps average 180 to 200 F daily driving. I have the Full Blown Motorsports stage 1 kit as well. Just was curious if I would still need to invest in an vented hood to increase my cooling for track days. From your results, it doesn't look like I would need to. Thanks. |

2- Stock hood. I don't know how much heat that turbo radiates. I'm sure a vented hood would help but not sure how effective it will be. I have no experience there.

I just got another Blackstone Labs UOA report with Pennzoil Ultra 5w20 with 4 track days on it, where oil temps were constantly in the 280's, and I even mentioned when I sent it into them that oil temps were in the 280's, and here is what they commented: "SCOTT: Thanks for the notes on the oil temps. Although they seem a bit high, there wasn't anything here that shows any negative consequences as a result, so your engine and oil handled things pretty well. Silicon dropped into the average range now, so we've got a pretty good look at the air filtration system's effectiveness - it's working beautifully. Copper continued to come down too, so it looks like the last of the wear-in material has washed out well. No fuel or any other harmful contamination was found and low insolubles show good oil filtration. No issues here!"
