The topic was brought up several times many moons ago and it questioned chrome oil coolers snd also direction. Separately from each other.

I think it also got into the Drew Marine outdrive lube coolers.

Any, think it was 10*f or so for each, if everything was working as designed. (Drew marine outdrive cooler 30f-40f ???? cooler )

But, I can’t remember peoples names nor family birthdays. So, there’s that.

I have not had my Brad Penn 20W50 oil analysis done (yet) but I had (what I think I have diagnosed) as a blockage in one of my remote Wix 51060R oil filters (oil pressure down 20 psi from other motor but still 30-50 psi (depending on rpms)) and water temp (at the oil filter) dropping (as though new/fresh/hot oil was not circulating at volume).

Replaced with new Wix filter and resolved any/all issues.
