Is oil cooler necessary?

take note that oil coolers will cause ur oil pressure to drop. one reason why i havent installed one yet even though im planning on tracking as much as possible this year.

some oil coolers come with thermostat to prevent oil pressure drop, but itll still drop once the thermostat opens...although not that long..upgrading oil pump is also an option. and oil coolers with thermostats are expensive... theres the M7 for sale here in this forum oso going about 1.5-1.7k iinm....ive found used oso around 800.

The function of oil thermostat is not to prevent oil pressure drop. Google bout it again, or this may help u BAT, Inc. - MOCAL Oil Coolers

Oil pressure dropped after oil cooler installation usually due to hose/ fittings sizes, oil cooler position, oil cooler location, hose length, design of oil cooler cores will also slightly affect the oil pressure drops.. Besides,Avoid having too much sharp bends during installation as well.
