It's a heat exchanger and it works both ways.

Yea it probably does help warm oil also but I seen a Audi that the oil cooler on the filter was removed and the plastic baffle in the oil pan melted from the oil getting so hot not the same engine and idk why they use a plastic baffle + this was in fl summer heat were everything gets extremely hot if I didn't live in Florida I probably wouldn't have got one.

I think that was one sentence?


- There's no probably. It warms the oil as well as cools it. If not overloaded, oil and water temp should track each other.
- People have melted those poorly though-out plastic baffles in stock form. Putting plastic in an oil pan is just a stupid idea. A good oil on track can run nearly 300F.

Poorly composed thoughts are hard to read and is a reflection on how you are perceived as well. But whatever...

Thanks for the replies everyone, by the looks of it , il be running zero oil cooler for now. Car wont be tracked or drag raced either way, so I think it will be ok till I purchase the aftermarket oil cooler.

I'm running no cooler at the moment. I've had no issue with the car. I do have a cooler to install when I'm not being lazy.

Soooo I would not run a boosted s2k without an oil cooler unless its a drag only car. Hell on the highway in summer my oil temps average 230f on group drives I have seen 245f this is with an oil cooler plus the stock unit. I run both so I don't have to mess with a thermostat that could fail or leak. this is on a car that see's lots of high rpm driving and sustained high rpm usage. to those who think its unnecessary, do you have an oil temp gauge? I can only emagine how hot my car would get without it before the oil cooler and temp gauge my car used a qt of oil every 1000 miles or so plus coolant temps would get as high at 217f after the cooler my car never gets over 190f even with the ac on in the middle of summer just my 2 cents

No cooler here either for years. Just a oil filter relocation kit. It's fine unless you are road racing in my opinion.

Do you mind telling me what you did with the port coming out the block and the line that runs across the front of the motor when you deleted the oem oil cooler?
