Default Oil cooler

Evening everyone.

Was out yesterday having a little drive (did get a little spirited at one or 2 points) and my oil temp had risen to over 100deg. so what i want is an oil cooler. now i have been meaning to do this for a while but thought now is the time as im collecting all the bits i need for my new build.

do any of you have one your selling. or know anyone?

i seem to have missed all the kits on here which is a bit of a shame

If your using a good quality oil 100 deg is fine for periods of spirited driving.

i agree with Kev and use a good oil like motul 300 V etc.. as an oil cooler would only be worth fitting if you are using for track days regular and drive it very hard all the time

i had a mocal thermostat sandwich plate i just sold the other day and also all the right fixings for the job with braided hoses and a serab oil cooler but sold them a few weeks ago

you can get all good stuff from merlin motorsport where i got mine from and are great help too

watch out for cheep ebay kits as the fixings are not very good also if the cooler is not fitted tidy could cause more damage than good

cheers guys. your input is much appreciated. im no stranger to work and i take on board everything you say. (whats the forum for )

i may be looking to do a few track days once in a while once i have done my build but for the time being i thought i could buy one now that will still be good and usable then. hate doing things once and much prefer to look after my car

will take a look into the oil as well as i need a service
