Hey guys. I drive a clunker that's got 263k on it. It runs strong, and lubrication wise, it's got no issues. I recently installed a Derale oil filter reloc. kit, and also plumbed in an aftermarket 7 row plate and fin oil cooler underneath the front bumper. It gets direct moving air exposure, and I made sure to increase the qt. capacity to account for this extra tubing, and cooler volume. I run regular synthetic 5W-30 and change it every 6,000.
How much of a difference to oil thermal breakdown do you guys think that the cooler could make between OCI's? I don't plan on extending the interval, just finding out if this was a worthwhile project that might promote increased longevity of the motor in general.
