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?

I already have a remote oil cooler installed, I'm just upgrading from the natural convection to forced air. I've seen temperatures getting a bit higher than I want during normal driving. I like Joe's way, much simpler. The remote thermostat already by-passes to get heat into the oil, and I'm less worried about oil being too cold here in California than about it getting to hot.
What's in there now: For those that asked, this is a full-flow system, no sandwich adapter. I still have the stock oil cooler, too. |
