I only had 1 track day last year on the Forester oil cooler (mixed with a season of SCCA National AutoX Events). This year: NCM (6.5 Hours of track time) Mid-Ohio (2 Hours) Pitt Race (5 Hours) Gingerman (2.5 Hours) NCM (4.5 Hours) NCM (3 Hours) VIR (6 Hours) I'd venture to say this year was considerably harder on the car than any other year. YMMV obviously, but I think it's pretty good evidence that at least an oil cooler has seen a reduction in Iron and Copper.

I haven't had my oil analyzed, maybe I will next year. I have heard from others who track without a cooler without seeing unusual levels of wear metals from oil analysis. |

At what temperature is oil tested at to determine viscosity? Would that not be the optimum temperature to keep the oil at?

Where I'm located, it can get to -20C/-4F. To avoid having to run 2 oils, one for winter and one for summer, I'm thinking of just going with a 0W30 oil year-round.
Would this be advisable for our motors? Any recommendations for a good 0W30? |

It's just a standardized test for testing viscosity, not an optimal temp. |

The other numbers that are notable to me is the phosphorus and zinc are better especially with the Perrin unit, so presumably that meant the additive package wasn't as used up. I don't know exactly how this translates to overall longevity in terms of miles, but it seems like this is a pretty good testimonial for oil coolers in general and the Perrin one in particular. Thanks much for posting this data.

I doubt anyone has lost a motor due to having an oil cooler however I can't say the same for the opposite.
