oil coolers
Anyone using a thermostatically controlled oil cooler...One that is built into the cooler itself....how about a oil cooler with a perma-cool ...am looking for some pics of a perma cool install to see how it was mounted and plumbed neatly so oil lines arent running everywhere
pros and cons on a cooler with thermo built in

I dont run one, but am planning on installing the Hardin cooler with the 212* thermo built in this winter. My oil wont get up over 215* without running at least 5000RPM, which is cruising at 80mph or so. I would rather not have to run that fast all the time just to burn off condensation.

Just a note, the cooler appears to have a thernostat setup to open at 190* based on the description. Even this would be better than what I have now. The oil temp wont climb over 185* while running at 4500RPM....Ever.

I think those open @ 215* .... By design they maintain 190-215* ..... I am running the KE external Thermostats and 3x18 merc HP oil coolers .... if I am running 3800+ they work fine but in the winter time with cold water and/or 3000 cruising speeds the oil temp will not come up ...... I installed a bypass around the oil cooler so I can divert most of the water flow around the cooler .... Running oil temps over 200 completely eliminated any condensation problems .....m
