Would you add an oil cooler?
Now that the warm weather is here, would you add an oil cooler for the temperature indicated?
 The car is a 69E with a '82 3.0SC running with PMOs. Is this too hot already? Thanks.

it's smack in the middle , it's not even near the read zone.
reasonable operating temperature mine has numbers on it , and it would read 100C , which is fine your lower red, would be 120 C , top of your yellow , would be my 150C any area on your clock with colour , i would avoid. unless this is a readout in the winter, and you expect to drive long hauls in 40C + weather during the summer, or track race your car on the circuit , i'd say your fine

That temp doesn't look dire...but I would plan on adding a cooler. Start looking for used hard lines and a t-stat... and at least a 28-row brass cooler.
When the temp and humidity starts to climb in the City...you'll wish you had a cooler...esp. if you are stuck on the "Expressway." |
