Here is a shot of my water temp gauge after 3 hours of freeway driving in 50 degree weather. My oil temp only got to 140F using air to oil cooler. I am pretty sure the JR setup would have given me more "normal" temps, not that I really consider this that much of an issue periodically.


Got it. The comment was aimed at folks who want to get cold oil warmed faster. I wish I could spend more time driving at 50f. Down here it's 90s up from March to November.
