I realize this topic has been beat to death but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
I have search fairly extensively last night and this morning. So if I missed this information somewhere on this site please direct me to it Thanks.
I'll be installing an oil temp gauge for the use at track days.
I have an Acura Integra and I just installed a Integra Type-R oil cooler. Little did I know that the cooler is actually cooled with coolant rather than an oil to air type of cooler. The adapter is a sandwich type but the inlet and outlet hook up to the rear coolant pipe (connecting pipe). Coolant being cooler than the oil and having a radiator seems pretty smart to me. Any thoughts on this?
After reading alot of the threads on here (great information) I now know that oil oxidizes after a certain temperature but at what point (temperature) does it start to break down and not protect the engines parts from damage?
I am currently using AMSoil.
