Reply to "Oil Temp is driving me nuts"

When oil passes through the cooler some amount of cooling happens even when the fan is not running. It seemed to me that in some cases that could be sufficient, If the oil coming out of the cooler is below the trigger point for the fan, why run the fan?

So, I put the fan switch on the outlet (cool) side of the cooler.

My Mocal sandwich at the filter sends oil to the cooler when it is above, say, 180 deg. Then, if the oil coming out of the cooler is below 180, there is no need for the fan. If the oil coming out of the cooler is above 180 the fan comes on and stays on until the oil coming out of the cooler is below 180.

I have an oil temp. gauge with numbers on it and the oil stays near 180. I have a light on the combo. gauge that tells me when the fan is on.

I understand that this is contrary to what was said above and I think it is contrary to the Setrab instructions.

What are any issues with this scheme?
