Anyone running Mishimoto oil cooler?

Dasky_spas · 06-10-2023, 09:52 AM

Anyone running their performance oil cooler, in particular, in the northeast or someplace where there's a cold climate for part of the year? They said there's .3l of extra oil needed and cold temps won't affect viscosity or harm the engine.

There should be a thermostatic valve, so "over cooling" in a cooler climate shouldn't be a factor.

Unless you plan to push hard at HPDEs the factory cooler is sufficient IMHO.

Ya I would agree but this car spews off so much heat compared to many other cars, even when I'm not pushing it so I look at this as a way to prolong the internals.

Ceratec is going in next week with the oil change so was thinking to add the oil cooler then.

Unless your causing oil temp warnings at the track you're waisting your money. Either way Do88 is the gold standard.

Thanks for sharing! What's the vehicle? For me, it'll be a tuned m850i, also around 700hp.

If the m850i oil cooler is the same as on the m5, it is fine unless maybe you are tracking the car in hot weather at altitude.
