All the traffic lately regarding spin-on oil filter housings (I'm a happy 15+ year user) reminds me that I'm going to install an oil cooler once my body and frame are re-assembled. I live in Atlanta

Michael--I have run with a Mocal 16-row (?) oil cooler for a few years no without the T-stat. I don't think the T-stat is necessary since at low temps, the oil cooler design is such that the thicker

I would agree with Rick. I will be installing an oil cooler for my modified engine and do not plan on using a thermostat. The only rationale for this device is to close off the cooler path when the

Thanks to all for your insight regarding the need for a thermostat in my oil cooler lines. The consensus is that it is not necessary, which is what I wanted to hear. Michael

The thermostat is probably a good idea, as if you run cold 20w50 oil through the cooler when the ambient is cold, the result is like molasses. This will result in parasitic losses in the engine (best

I have to disagree with this logic. If the oil is really cold, the oil pressure will be very high - much more than 75 PSI. This high pressure will cause the oil pressure relif valve to dump pressure.

I think it depends on you geographic location. The southern tribes - may - not need a thermostat. If you live where it gets cold, yes, you need one. The oil will continaully circulate through the co

I am not speaking from personal experience here, so please bear with me. I *THOUGHT* that the thermostat was not just for warming up the oil, but also to make sure it didn't get *TOO COOL*. Motor oi

Michaie--I would think that running without an oilcooler thermostat would be similar to running without a radiator/water thermostat. Under anything but all-out driving, the fluid(s) would be cooler t
