There's a thread somewhere about the forester oil cooler mod. Shown in tests to warm you oil faster, as well as lower max temperatures.

I just noticed your earlier question about my switch to castrol/wix.
It's cheaper. It's consistent.
I dont want to switch oil brands/formulas all the time, so i grabbed the type of castrol synthetic that's been around since a decade ago. Wix manufacturers some OEM stuff,is well known, and is available on RockAuto.
