[QUOTE="RJCarp2, post: 16089458, member: 104030"] 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. [/QUOTE]
