How did you connect to the factory oil cooler?

BrianMN · 11-22-2010, 10:22 PM

Cool. Can you post up what fittings and adapters you used...and how you tapped into the stock oil lines?? That'd be awesome.

McMuffin · 11-22-2010, 10:29 PM

Edit: Are your oil temps reading the same?

Sniz · 11-22-2010, 10:29 PM

Haha yes oil temps.

taylors335 · 11-22-2010, 11:06 PM

cool thanks , all the fittings used are -8 earls and the factory oil cooler stays in place and is left aloan the Earls cooler will tap into the filter housing on top where the two allen plugs are , they come out and two 90 degree 20mm/1.5 to -8 AN adapters will go in there place and the oil lines will attach to those the hose being used is Earls Pro-lite -8 used a total of 5 feet , prolly could have used 4 but got 5 to be safe as the line is almost $10 a foot!!! not up and running yet still need to get the adapters the ones i had before were the wrong size and would not clear the hood on the 335. my oil temps should at least drop about 10 to 15 degrees !

Remember you are still using the stock thermostat. That means your oil coolers are useless below 230 - 235F. Losing that thermostat or getting a lower temp thermostat is critical when trying to improve oil temps in my opinion. I am currently testing a 180F oil thermostat on my car. Should have data shortly.

but once it reaches 230 it should keep it around there , not 250+ when driving hard on the car who is supplying the 180 t-stat
