I'm in the process of converting my remote oil cooler to fan cooled. After thinking about the wiring with a thermo-switch on the cooler outlet, I asked myself "Why" since I have an oil-bypass thermostat after the oil filter. What's wrong with wiring the fan to run all the time, allowing the by-pass thermostat to control oil temperature?

Steve,
I run a thermo swith with my fan and the fan comes on just above 180. I also added an LED to my temp gague that indicates when the fan is on. I could have placed the light a little higher; the needle clears the light in the event I get that hot.  |
