What was it like to fit mate? Looks like a fair bit of cutting would be needed.

 

[sambryant]

fitting was easy as its the 3rd one i have done on my lcr. i did have to do alot of cutting but its well worth it

 

[psjunkie]

Hii guys just fitted my welly cooler any one else noticed high oil temp after mines running aroun the 110 mark now when before was 95 is this ok ?

 

[Bouncerbeater]

This is why some folks fit a 12 row oil cooler on top of the intercooler

 

[irf]

Funny this has come up, I have a fmic and was thinking it may affect oil temps so was looking around on a solution. An oil cooler is one but because the car tends to do a lot of short trips I'm not too keen as it'd take even longer to get up to temp with a cooler in the air flow.

Is there some kind of uprated oil/water heat exchanger available?

 

[monk3y303]

But is a 12 row cooler necessary or is the pil temp safe at that temperature ?

 

[Seal_LCR]

My temp has never changed on my lcr in 2years since fitting a welly

You also have oil coolers with thermostats

 

[monk3y303]

But is it safe at that temp

 

[nd-photo.nl]

If you have proper oil you're safe yes. Remapped is more heat, simple. Normally my oil temp is between 100-110 degrees. When booting it I have seen 115 degrees. I would be worried for myself if it was above 120 for longer periods of time.

 

[DannyJigg]

I'm no expert but I agree with ndphoto. As long as it's decent oil and you change it regularly (maybe even shorter oil change interval) you will most likely be fine.
