D1 Spec Oil cooler (330 x 85 x 50mm)

Description

D1 Spec Oil cooler (330 x 85 x 50mm)

An oil cooler kit is a must for any car with a high performance engine. Even with optimal driving conditions, increased oil temperatures will cause a drop in pressure and will decrease the ability for your engine to be properly lubricated. This could potentially cause engine seizure.

Overall cooler size: High 140mm / Width: 330mm / Thickness: 50mm
Core size: High 110mm / Width: 285mm / Thickness: 50mm

Oil cooler has Dash10 (10AN) connection with 7/8×14 Thread

Fitting an oil cooler in a track car offers several important benefits, especially in high-performance or racing environments where engines are pushed to their limits. Here’s a breakdown of the key advantages:

🔧 1. Lower Oil Temperatures

• Track driving generates a lot of heat due to sustained high RPMs and engine loads.

• An oil cooler helps dissipate this heat, keeping oil temperatures within a safe operating range.

🔁 2. Maintains Oil Viscosity

• High oil temperatures thin out the oil, reducing its ability to lubricate engine components effectively.

• A cooler helps maintain optimal viscosity, ensuring reliable lubrication.

💥 3. Improved Engine Longevity

• Properly cooled oil reduces wear on critical components like bearings, cams, and pistons.

• Prevents thermal breakdown of oil, which can lead to sludge and varnish buildup.

⚙️ 4. Stable Performance During Extended Track Sessions

• Without a cooler, oil temps can spike after just a few hot laps, forcing cooldown periods.

• A cooler enables consistent lap times and longer sessions without compromising engine safety.

🚗 5. Better Performance from Turbocharged or High-Revving Engines

• Turbo engines generate more heat, and high-revving N/A engines stress oil systems.

• An oil cooler becomes essential in these setups to avoid heat-related failures.

🔩 6. Additional Benefits

• Reduces the risk of oil foaming or pressure loss under extreme conditions.

• Can improve overall cooling system efficiency by reducing engine bay heat load.

🚫 Risks/Considerations

• Must be properly installed with thermostatic control to avoid overcooling during warm-up.

• Poor installation can cause leaks or pressure drops.

Bottom Line:

If you’re regularly tracking your car, especially in warm climates or with a modified engine, an oil cooler is a smart and often necessary upgrade for protecting your investment and ensuring consistent performance.
