Hot, Hot HOt!! (suggestion to bring doen the oil Temp)

[neptunonc at yahoo.com (Neptuno)]

Standard advice in the past was to add an oil to air cooler and 180F
thermo controlled sandwich plate. Could be a holdover practice from
aircooled cars which were notorious oil cookers, but they were
considered absolutely essential for any tweaked motor. Drake, among
others, recommended them even for stock applications.

I don't see much talk about any kind of oil coolers here. Does that
little joke of an oil/water cooler gizmo really do anything? I see
Potter doesn't even sell a real oil cooler.
 

Gordon, 

is that the 240 Volvo intercooler that you have on that picture? In anycase how much more oil is needed in the car to make the pressure costant? or does the stock levels apply?

Thank you,

El Tony
