When oil temps become a problem?

The standard modine cooler is very good at its job and to replace it with a front mount oil cooler it would have to be bigger then 19 rows to do a bettber job then the modine.

..thats what iv read on here anyway !

Oil temps over 115 degrees would worry me !

Fitted mine yesterday !

STD STI modine 98 degrees at a steady 75 mpg (GPS)

Hyperflow TMOC 78 degrees at the same speed.

HTH

P.S. Also saw a 0.2 bar increase in the "hot" oil pressure at the same speed.

Also saw a litre of oil escape over 38 miles..... re-use seal, mumble, bl**dy Hyperflow.

New seal to order now... and a mess on the drive too !

personlay if you see 105 degrees then back off and get one fitted. even backing off at that will prob cause heat to spike at 110-115 anyway.
