Am I gonna have to cardboard cover the oil cooler when cold weather comes around? I only redlined a couple times as it's not really practical during city driving.
Only mods on car are the JR CARB tune and JR oil cooler
3500 total miles on car, 400 miles with the JR kit
Factory Subaru oil (replaced original factory oil at 2000 miles)
Defi Red Racer Temp gauge
70 F. Ambient temp with low humidity and calm winds

Remember, your oil temp gauge only shows oil temps in one location. The oil is momentarily hotter in other places; you'll be okay. You won't see the temps drop much lower than that, as you're already at the theromostatic plate temperature threshold.
