oil cooler questions???

[JohnFurness]

im looking to upgrade my oil cooler and the return lines. so i was just wondering if the oil cooler is for maintaining the heat or to reduce the heat of the oil? Next, is there a thermostat within the oil cooler lines? also any tips on what type of lines to run for the cooler.

thanks, John

hey thanks but thats to convert the cooler from a pressure based feed to a thermostat controlled circuit. i just want to know if theres a thermostat within the return lines, so i buy the right ones or if i can just get any oil lines.. but thanks for the sweet tip

You just answered your own question. But I'll be nice. It's a cooler, it's to cool the oil. There isn't a t-stat in the system, it's entirely pressure based.

NO. The stock oil cooler is controlled by pressure. When the oil pressure reaches 40 PSI i believe it opens up & allows oil to pass by to the Oil cooler.
