SSnake,
We have similar engines and I installed a MOCAL thermostat for my
oil cooler because the
oil temp would never get above 75C. The only temp they offered was 80C. It performs exactly as stated, it opens at 80c and never gets warmer even on spirited drives. I wish it would get over 100C to ensure I'm evaporating all the moisture out of the
oil.
As I searched for which one I purchased I now see that they offer a 200F model in 10 and 12.

I am thinking about installing a shutoff valve to the oil cooler that I can control when needed on track days.
