i was thinking tu put an oil cooler on my civic vti '92 ( CAI and ividia exhaust ) ... it's worth the money ? it is really cooling the oil ? should i buy one ? i found one at http://www.tss-tuning.de at 130 $

 

To my understanding it's not really necessary unless you are making some pretty big power. Anyone else that can back me up on this, or am I just talking out of my ***?

 

hehe, no you don't need an oil cooler for your 110hp car.

 

160 hp ( it's VTI ) ... do you think that the oil cooler it's not necessary on a stock car ?

 

Are you going to use it to cool the engine oil or the transmission fluid ? is the car an automatic ?

Engine oil coolers are nice but not necessary unless you're going with boost, screws or NOS. A good quality oil needs to maintain a certain temp to flow properly and protect metal, cooling oil below that temp will do more harm than good. 160HP won't stress your oil that much..

In automatic cars an oil cooler will help extend the live of the ATF and the transmission itself, you can't go wrong there.

my 2lb-ft.....wurd to ya ***** !

 

my car it's manual and i wanted the oil cooler for the engine oil not trasnmission fluid

so i guess it's useless at my car ( almost stock )

ok , thanks for advices , i asked you about the cooler because i really wanted to buy it , but now i think i won't

 

yeah unless you doing some big things with your engine, like producing hella horsepower, the oil cooling system is necessary.

 

no need for an oil cooler unless your road racing/autocrossing

High HP turbo cars could benefit from them though.

 

if you bought a stock car that needs an oil cooler, something is wrong...most people only use those for high HP jobs or towing.
