Or as someone else in one of these threads suggested, you could send a fresh sample of oil to Blackstone, then send another sample after tracking the car and see what they say about oil degradation and/or metallic particles. If oil isn't degrading and metal isn't being eroded beyond reasonable levels for your usage, why bother with an oil cooler? |
I did run the Blackstone test after last seasons two track days. They were cooler days and I sucked at driving more so I doubt I was dumping the heat into it like I will on my next track day in June.
