Sharing my thoughts because I considered this long and hard, and honestly it seems to me most of us who track these cars casually don't need an oil cooler. That's all. And I'd have been glad to share that anonymously if i'd thought for a second that anyone might construe this as my trying to gain "clout" in a totally obscure and 99.99% irrelevant internet forum!

Lol. I start a thread to simply point out noticing 250+ oil temps in a lap or two in upstate New York.
Who knows what it got to in that track run.....the point is I was simply pointing it out, knowing full well the 0w-20 that Subaru puts in from the factory ( and I use for daily driving in Atlanta) is simply yet again a no go with the 2nd generation. Would be nice for a factory oil cooler for a "drivers car" that Subaru damn well knows people are tracking. TLDR; A completely stock car at a press track event in 87 degree weather getting to 254+ is a no go for me dawg |

Because I enjoyed tracking my 2020 Outback XT Touring a couple weeks back in 93 degree Atlanta weather watching the turbo motor's oil temp not going above 240 even after pulling back into the pits.
And not changing the oil afterwards Turbo motor with 50 more HP has longer, harder run on track in hotter weather and yet has lower oil temperature than a bone stock gen2 BRZ. Hmph. |

I'm not an expert, but a quick google shows me a whole lot of cars getting those kinds of temps or higher during track days. I know that @ZDan knows what hes talking about, so honestly since this is all based on some kind of reading of the tea leaves about it, I'd go with him. |

But sure, at that point you would need some significant oil cooling! Lol! EDIT: And while I'm on that, I think Monticello was pretty hot due (everyone mentioned it) and that's because even though it was 85f out, the humidity was between 90-99 as everyone was mentioning it was raining. So an apparent temp of probably 100-110f Science! |
