Just browsing on advanced automotives web site I noticed that the later modines seem much bigger (and more expensive) than the earlier ones.

I assume that means they'll be better at keeping oil at the right temperature, but just wondering if even a track day car could get away with the larger 2008+ modine instead of resorting to an air oil cooler.

Less hoses, less chance of leaks, but are they up to removing enough heat at approx 400hp on track?

 

Bump looking what oil Modine to use on my ej20 cdb 2.1

 

I never did find out, sadly.

Currently using an external oil cooler with a thermostatic sandwich plate, but that has its own issues.

 

Bumping this thread again.

Anyone have any experience of the later modines, or indeed has anyone taken a hatch or later out on track without an external oil cooler, and not had oil temp issues?
