Thanks for the replys
ANT I had the same thought as you with the heat exchanger VS the oil cooler.
I instaled a heat exchanger on the top radiator hose not the bottom. Prior to the heat exchanger install I did not have an oil temp gage so I do not know what temp I had under open track conditions. With the heat exchanger The oil temp comes up nicely under normal street driving 200 to 215, at the track I hit 250 to 265.
I was told it did not matter if ithe heat exchanger was instaled in the top hose or bottom hose. The top hose install was very clean without hassle.
Botton hose install could be done but would be difficult.
How much diference in temp would there be from top to bottom hose install of the heat exchanger and how much would that change oil temp?
Thanks so much for all the replys.
