Stick with OEM, Koyo or Mish, if they will honor lifetime warranty.


Good point hadn't considered the posters area of residence, good catch!

Over cool? The thermostat should maintain the temperature even in the winter.

Since it has zero cold weather testing I would not recommend this on a street car let alone a stock car.

As it stands right now most thermostatic thermostats still allow trickle flow into the cooler I have a hard time getting my oil temps up even with a standard oil cooler on the street when temps dip below 50F.

It was designed as a race solution not a year round setup in all climates.
