Thanks Brian

I do have a thermostatically-controlled oil cooler that I installed after a track day at Big Willow that brought my oil temp way up (over 250) from its usual 160-180. To be clear, there was no oil cooler before the track day, and the temps were cool even then during anything resembling normal driving.

I have the oil cooler blocked off at the moment.

I use a Canton road racing pan and 8 quarts of fully synthetic, although the pan will hold more.

Someone previously asked what my thermostat was, a 160 or a 180. It is a 180.

Cheers
