Sounds like the oil cooler is really doing the job. Just a quick note on the physics, though. You mention "humid" like it matters. It matters to us because our bodies cool by evaporating perspiration, and it doesn't evaporate very well when it is humid. However, the engine isn't wet (hopefully) and evaporation plays no part in cooling, so humidity doesn't matter. Since it is Friday, I assumed everyone would want to know. Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vanagon man" <vgonman@MSN.COM> here are the stats. Before the cooler, if i went 70-75 mph in my part of the country (humid, and 90+ degrees out side) for any length of time, my oil would hit 110C and probably hit 115C.so I had to go more like 60mph. My oil pressure would be more or less equal to my rpms(3800 rpm...38psi) and my heads would run between 300-350f.
