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?

Functionally, you don't need it. The cooler won't be cooling the oil until the thermostat opens (technically it closes, but that's a different subject).
I like installing them for nit-picky reasons such as hearing a loud fan before the engine starts and having the fan running when you turn on the key to do anything. I probably run into this more than the driver of the car since I turn the key on more frequently for troubleshooting. This is the one that I've used in the past. It's adjustable, it's got a relay, it's got a fuse, and it's only $50. |
