Track Day Excessive Oil Temp for factory recommended 0w-20 persists
Just watched....ugh....savagegeeses' video...1 min into it noticed 250 on the oil temp....87 degrees outside.
Why oh why can't they just integrate an oil cooler into the radiator? edit- later on in the video its at 254... Last edited by s30series; 09-16-2021 at 05:25 PM. |

Majority of owners won't need one.
If anything it would be nice to see a factory oil cooler option offered from the dealer. |

I believe that is more of the point. At least that's what I feel I remember people pointing to a few years back when the Forester mod was common. Plus many cars in our budget don't have a 'proper' oil cooler. Hell, even the S2000 has one like the new BRZ/86.

:-( Our 2020 Outback XT has oil cooler, transmission cooler, and heat exchangers for both. Ohh well. I guess I'm glad the "track mode dash setting" shows the oil temps. Us OG owners back in the day had to buy a P3 guage to watch it on a track |

Sucks, but just gotta plan to either delete the stock cooler and go with an air cooler or cut the lip off the stock oil cooler and put a sandwich plate on that. The latter being the ideal solution for most people that still street drive, I suspect.
FA24 also seems to have a better oiling system than the FA20 so we'll likely be able to just run 5w30 or 5w40 and be "fine" for mild track use with the stock cooler.

250F is no big deal. My oil temp stabilizes at 270-275F at the track and never goes into runaway oil overheating. 275F is not a problem for good synthetic oil. I do run 30-wt during track season, I wouldn't run 20wt at those temps...
Oil cooler is not required for "casual" HPDE type track usage (say, 15-20 minute sessions a few times per day). Whatever that Savagegeese guy says... |

I did quite a number of HPDE events throughout the year...no way I'm dumping my daily Nanodrive 0w-20 for a thicker oil just for a track day to compensate for high oil temps...that gets....expensive Also too lazy to change pads when I get off track |

I would bet that 30wt in the summer months is thinner than 0w20 in the winter for a significant percentage of your daily driving... Quote:

Running an oil cooler would pay for itself quickly in not having to change oil every 2-3 events...
but anyway, 254F in a single lap of Monticello isn't acceptable IMO. Mishimoto's WRX cooler also looks like it will fit right on, but I'd rather have a better core so it would be awesome if they sold the sandwich plate separately.
