Reply to "Oil Temperature Sender"

DannyP

I had a 180 degree oil thermostat and I swapped it for a 190 degree based on my instant-read thermometer testing.

My homemade "sled tins" dropped my oil and CHT by ten degrees. Great, you might think, but the oil was too cool, it ran 170 degrees. After swapping for the 190, the oil entering the engine reaches 180 plus, but never over 200.

I'm running more oil than most type1/type4 guys with my dry-sump setup, between 7 and 8 quarts, but less than Bob with his 911 setup(10 qts? +/-).
