[DeTomaso] Oil cooler question

[JFFR]

I have a Laminova oil cooler on the outlet of my radiator and for street 
use in the desert, it does a pretty good job. When I used the car on our 
local road course race track, oil temperatures would start getting into 
the 240 degree area. My car has a front mounted air conditioning 
condenser, so the area where the original condenser was located was 
available to install an air to air DeRalle oil cooler with its own fan 
assembly. Oil temperature is now staying around the 210 to 220 degree 
range when the car is being tracked. My engine has a Titan oil pump 
which was set up to compensate for the additional oil lines to and from 
the coolers.

Two oil coolers may sound like overkill, but the second oil cooler which 
is now in the rear of the car was actually very easy to install. The 
rear cooler fan has a thermostatic switch which doesn't come on until 
the oil reaches 180 degrees, which in turn doesn't allow the oil to be 
too cold. High horse power engines generate lots of heat and cooling the 
oil also helps to keep the water temperature down.
