Re: oil cooler thermostat

Mike,

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 oil is cold so it warms up 
faster.  But once the engine (and oil) is at operating temperature the 
thermostat serves no function.  Especially in Atlanta.
