BMS Oil Cooler Valve

wildcatcrazy · 07-02-2014, 03:40 AM

Is anyone here using the subject valve with a stock oil cooler? I'm just wondering if I would see a diff if I installed in my DD? Right now I'm running 210-220 on avg, with bump to 240-260 when playing around on the freeway.

I use to oil cooler valve, and it works great. I have stock oil cooler and it brings my temps 25-30 degrees. Barely ever see anything above 235. I would def get it.

Plenty of guys run it on the stock oil cooler, that's it's target market. Since it bypasses the T stat it's always open and since you don't live in a cold climate you should be good since you don't need to worry about oil temps rising in cold weather.

I will most likely be moving back to the KY/TN/OH area next year. Should I swap it back with OEM during the winter months?

If you find it takes to long for your oil temps to rise. It's really up to you though.
