Re: Oil Cooler... useful?

Hobbes are you getting Max coolant (or oil) temperature warnings on your display?
These pop up under extreme use after your car would have been at "full bars" on the oil temp display for some time.

If you don't get the warning then I'm not sure if you would need any extra cooling?

I can get these sometimes after about 15 minutes intense track use on one particular fairly low speed windy track where there aren't enough long straights to cool the engine decently.

My car would be running hotter than yours though.
I doubt if it would be possble for me to get this warning on the road even driving like a lunatic (which I don't).

Cheers,
TB

I'm not a doctor - but I really do recommend braking later
