Thanks

It is probably ok. I feel safer with a -10 because of where the cooler is located in relationship to the oil feed out of the oil filter location.

There is at least 10 feet of hose involved.

As far as locating the oil cooler itself inside of the right wheel well being a stagnate air location, the Gp4 cars had them located there. The movement of the tire draws air through the cooler.

I do remember discussing this with Gary Hall. He swore by it. Said that he took one of his cars, put it up on a lift and just let the car run in gear for a couple of hours. HE claimed it reduced the oil temps 20 degrees.

You only NEED the fan if you want circulation while the car is in motion BUT even if it was in front of the car, that would be the same situation.

My oil cooler fan is on an automatic thermostatic switch. Comes on at 212F. A manual switch is an option. It is only useful to cool the drivers paranoia?
