Mocal are ok, but retain the OEM cooler as it also warms up the oil faster, keeping your engine healthy for longer. When did you last change the oil? Sort the root issue before attacking the symptoms.

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I fitted a Mocal Oil cooler and it certainly did it's job. I was seeing 120* on a very hot day of driving it hard. They do also offer a sandwich plate with a thermostat to allow the oil to warm up quicker thats quite handy.

Is it a valver? Mine runs at them temperatures, fan cuts in and out no worries.

I'm not an expert on oils but they make a difference on running temperatures, also change your coolant if you haven't already done so :wink:. Flush the coolant system though with a hose before filling up again with g12/water
