_shaun_ Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 unless your taking the car on the track for some heavy sessions you dont need one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patman Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Could always get an oil temp gauge and watch the temp on that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nitrosmith0815 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Oil temp gauge will come - but i m a little bit afraid to drive without oil cooler - because i don't want to have a bad engine after some drives... If i get one - how many rows it should have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You don't need one put your money into a top notch gauge you would only need one for long track sessions. If your dying to get one, they do look cool sitting at the front look into core size's, there quite expensive I'd rather have a gauge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Unless you're in a really hit country I wouldn't bother.. I have a 16 row cooler fitted to mine, which I have to cover with tin foil otherwise I can't get any heat into the oil. My car is solely used on track too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I've fitted a oil cooler from another toyota. A carina I think it was from. It uses coolant from the engine to regulate the oil temp. Bit like a sandwich plate between the oil filter and the filter housing. I also have an oil temp gague in the oil filter housing to keep an eye on the temps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 A bit like this.........http://s167.photobucket.com/user/flaminsam/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image.jpg.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 ^^ neat idea for a road car, does it have a thermostat in it? Whilst it's good to keep on top of oil temps, having oil which is too cool is just as bad if not worse than it getting a bit hot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 The idea with that one is that the engine coolant heats the oil and also cools it if needs be. It keeps the oil temp at around 80-90 degrees even after I've been driving with "spirit" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
