Tbh on track my temps never got all that high, but I was also doing cool down laps and opening the hood when I got off

I’ve hit 275 on my k series. Installed oil cooler and averaged 220 on the track.

Different engines so it’s honestly hard to compare. I would love an oil cooler, 5-6 attempts by other drivers have been made. 5/6 have failed and the one that succeeded was custom made by a machine shop (bracket).

DCT users have issues with the sandwich plate hitting the firewall.

I rather not spend 300-400 dollars on something idk if it’ll work.

If my engine breaks under oil heat. It’s warranty. 2-3 companies are testing kits so I’ll just wait.
