My concern also is if it increases remarkably water temps so the final result is worse than without oil cooler...any experiences? |
The radiators on these cars have a lot of spare capacity, i have one of the forrester coolers installed, no noticable increase in coolant temps. It takes about 10-15 degrees of oil temps , but after sustained track use oil temps will still climb as it runs out of heat transfer capacity. The coolant temps stay normal though.
Its a good option for street and mild track use.
If your hard track user get a full oil cooler
