Oil Cooler and Remote Filter - No Thermostat

[almost heaven]

Just finished installing a remote oil filter and oil cooler... but forgot about the overly cool oil concern. Don't have any recourse that I can think of now, except to cover the oil cooler fins when the ambient is below 50 or 60 degF. What do you all think?

anyone ?

what kit did you use?

also maybe find a headlight motor and mod it to make a shield for the oil cooler. hit a switch and cooler or warmer oil

I bought a setraub or whatever oil cooler off ebay, some 8-an lines and fittings from summit, a remote oil filter pedestal from summit, too. The cooler is about 5x8. I like the haedlight cover idea - thanks!

In the cold months of the year just put cardboard or duct tape over it so aire can't pass through it...

I hope your remote filter adapter has 2 ports so you can add oil pressure and temp gauges. Once you add these gauges, monitor your temps and you won't have to put a piece of cardboard in front of your cooler, unless your car never gets up to operating temperature. Good luck.

My adapter has one port for oil pressure. I get oil temp from a sensor in the pan. Is that better or worse?
