Oil cooler question

[HondaFan81]

How about trying out a sandwich plate first and see how much heat it might dissipate? It might be cheaper than going all out with a 150 dollar cooler right off the bat. Dunno just sayin. Pretty abundant around junkyards.

I have an oil block adapter/sandwich plate that I have both Autometer oil temp and oil psi gauge sender units attached to. I don't think it will make much difference in lowering oil temps, it is just a small extension from block oil filter housing.

I also wonder how my engine bearing clearances and Torco SR-1 oil will come into play with oil temps, I think they will help keep them down.

Gary, it was auto tranny fluid that came out of those lines.

Wait don't the EX's come w/ a oil cooler from the factory? or is that the Auto transmissions w/ the tranny coolers?

EX/SE came with oil coolers. It wasnt really a "cooler" more like a sandwich plate.

It was a heat exchanger... the heat went from the oil to the engine coolant.
I think I've figured out how to make that setup work on my block, so I'm investigating a more on what it will take.

If you want to use the oem auto trans cooler you can probably get the sandwich plate as already mentioned and tap AN fittings inside the cooler (probably already mentioned) and run it that way. I can see that method working. Just flush out the auto trans cooler first.
