a thermistor probe attached to the oil filter may give a good indication of the oil temp. i could do this but need a standard oil temp to compare against :? | |

no higher rating oil would provide protection. I use 10w60 in the GT | |

quote: probably not, the only mods i may possibly carry out would be cams,exhaust manifold and unichip.it would be interesting though to have a temp probe in the oil somewhere to have a with and without oilcooler temp difference. the oilcooler on that was on the cav gsi i broke wasn't very large and fairly corroded/crapped up so would provide a very small temp change across it. higher temp oil will be thinner and need more frequent oil changing,would synthetic oil bypass the hotter oil problem? adam i think i still have the oil filter plate that the oil cooler hoses connect to,i'll have a look tomorrow for it if you want to go down that road. | |

quote: is your C20XE going to be tuned like AK's though. personally if it has an oil cooler then it is there for a reason. if the oil gets too hot then it is not protecting the engine as it should. | |

ross - good point.... but an oil cooler wont cool oil thats cold already. The diff wouldnt be that great in my opinion. | |

quote: my c20xe had an oil cooler attached when i took it out of the cav, i took it off and removed the oil filter plate that the oil cooler lines attach too before i dropped it into the corsa. i'm running a cool running coolant thermostat which opens up 10 degrees earlier then standard,which should provide extra cooling for the engine block. | |

quote: so the oil only gets cooled when it's reached a certain temp. if it is constantly going through a cooler it will take ages to warm up. GT's open at 140F | |

i left mine off but fitted a cool running thermostat to the coolant system. the original was leaking like a sieve though. | |

I'd fit one yes. make sure it is thermostatically controlled though | |
