Oil cooler nessasary?

[jgt58]

Is the oil cooler nessasary? Seems these things are prone to leaking. I picked up a gt adapter. Will this be ok if I run the gt adapter?

This is a something i’d like to know as well.

if you have daily, a gt adapter should be fine; however, the DOHC oil cooler can be fixed by buying and installing a complete cooler o-ring kit. And it can be done on your next OC.

Going to a GT cooler is a step backwards IMO.

I’m curious to know the pro’s and con’s between the gt adapter and oil cooler style?

This... if I'm correct the oil cooler doesn't actually cool anything.

I have done this. Still seems to be leaking. And I've replaced every o ring in it inside and out.

Have one in my closet my friend. Was just waiting for a response.

But in all seriousness , what the hell does it do? It's very design would suggest it HEATS oil....

Just heats up your coolant faster oil maintain a heat level..... the usual garbage factory lines

Guys, if the oil cooler did nothing, why would ford waste money installing them on all these cars?

The engine coolant should maintain around 200 degrees F. The engine oil should be around 250 degrees F.

So does anyone see how the oil cooler could help?

If its a leaking mess then removing it is an option. I would repair it.

I just dont see it helping much though. I see some cobra owners running without them

An external oil cooler (air cooled) will do wonders compared to using the stock style (using coolant to cool).

(an oil cooler's job is to prevent the thermal breakdown of the oil, not to lower engine temps.)

I myself will be doing away with the oil cooler for my turbo build. My car is just summer time weekend warrior so I am not worried about it. Once I drive it awhile and see it's a concern I will just add an aftermarket piece.

I'm going turbo too and am considering deleting it as well.

I have a 97 Cobra engine in a 62 Comet. The factory oil cooler hit the frame rail so I had to run a GT cooler. I mostly autocross this car and occasionally run an open tack day. I have an oil temp sensor in the pan. The oil gets ridiculously hot in a hurry without the factory cooler. No issue driving around town but sustained RPM is bad news. Before I added an external cooler I could get oil temp to 260F in about 3 minutes of sustained RPM.

Since I've never run the factory cooler I can't say how effective it is, but I can say the Derale external cooler I'm running is incredible.

The factory cooler should be able to keep oil temp close to coolant temp, which is much better than not having one.

I plumbed a remote mount oil filter and the above oil cooler all in -10AN line. I've never seen oil temp above 200F.

I would install a good aftermarket oil cooler for a turbo build. Keep the factory at a minimum. The turbo will add extra heat.
