im thinking yes on my new engine but any input welcome thanks

 

Without doubt gus,if you don't it will hold oil temps low for alot longer from starting cold and when slow driving.

 

If it's staying as a road car, then just whip the whole lot off during the winter. I do !

dunx

 

I just cover mine in the winter

 

I'll just order a stat one

 

If you went FMIC and put the oil cooler where the TMIC was, at the top of the engine, would the heat from the engine balance the problem out or would you still have to amend it in some way in the winter?

 

where you getting yours from gus
