With my oil/coolant heat exchanger, the oil temp eventually matches
That type of oil cooler was used on Volvo P1800 in the sixties already. They have a big advantage in requiring no extrenal oil lines at all. I don't know how well they work cooling, I guess it depends on how much water you can pass through it. How do you route water through it Brian?

The other advantage to a heat exchanger is that when starting a cold
engine the coolant helps raise oil temps quicker.

Since you had instrumentation, what were your temps when driving at

Talking with another open road racer a few years ago about this
topic, I was told you want about 230 degrees F and nothing near 290. That's a nearly 60 degree difference. But the way he gave me the information makes me think you want to make sure you stay down around
For open road racing, depnding on the engine build and speed, a racer
will definitely want an oil cooler. Last year I ran the 120 class and spent a good amount of time near 130. My oil temp ran right around 230, so I knew if I wanted to move up to the 130-140 class, I'd need to add an oil cooler.
