[DeTomaso] Oil temperature

My oil cooler is mounted horizontally in front of the right rear wheel. I have a separate oil pump to circulate the oil. Last year I ran some ducting from my front spoiler to the oil cooler. While running at SSCC last year 140 to 160 my oil temp was at 190 if I left the oil pump running. I'm changing back to a scoop in front of the wheel to see what happens this year.

Many moons ago, I saw a setup at Gary Hall's shop: He had installed a
reverse-louvered, splash panel on the right rear with an oil cooler
mounted to the inside (non-tire side) of the shield. The philosophy was
that the spinning tire would provide a constant stream of air through
the louvers at speed, cooling the oil. Whether it effectively worked, I
have no idea, but it was a clean setup.
FWIW,
Scott

Out of curiosity, where would you add an oil cooler? And would it be an
air-to-liquid - or - liquid-to-liquid cooler? Having moved the A/C
condenser to the front, I was thinking of using the original
condenser-space for an air-to-liquid cooler with a pusher fan. I get
the feeling, however, that it's a waste of time, which sounds
good/great to me. The old "track-pushing-hard" syndrome left me a few
years back. Always looking for a way to NOT look at the temp gauge on
hot days in traffic.

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
230. People smarter than me will know a lot more than me. I also run
Amsoil full synthetic and there is a temp for viscocity breakdown but I
don't have the spec in front of me.

add an oil cooler.

oil temperature in these beautiful beasts? My next little project (get
in line) is to install an oil temp gauge. Waste of time? I guess I need
some feedback. All input is appreciated.
