I’ve had a few trucks with oil coolers from the factory. One was a 93 Suburban with a 5.7 liter engine with an oil cooler built into the rad. The other is a Chevy 6 liter Gen IV with a factory auxiliary cooler that looks like a miniature radiator (and no, it’s not the AC condenser)
Obviously GM thought it was important the the oil temps be kept within reason. However, I don’t have an oil temp gauge. Does anyone have any observations from from a oil temp gage such as what was their normal temp crushing down the highway vs towing a heavy trailer etc. I might shoot the oil temp cooler with an infra red temp gun during some stops. Your comments are welcome. Thanks.
