Ha ha, sorry, I may have gotten everyone worked up over nothing. This is my stockish DD, not the TD05 car. That car has a ginormous front-mounted setrab cooler.

I was having a hard time believing that my rusty old stock cooler, with no ducting (had to remove for the FMIC), and tilted at a 20-degree angle was doing much of anything anyway. I'm running 20w50 now that I deleted it.

Ahh so you're just guessing everything will be fine, that makes me feel better. :scared:

Not going to at least try to monitor temps, if not for safety, for science? I'm just curious what the actual temperature difference is without a cooler.

Hmm, nope, still feeling pretty damn smug.

Got an oil cooler on that NA of yours? If I'm going to be dislodged from my happy place, someone has to convince me that my massive 5-second, 240whp-merge-into-freeway-traffic poses some dramatic thermal threat to my engine.

just monitor your oil temps. for example, the maximum oil temp spec for a lamborghini V12 is 135 degrees celsius.

Maximal

Yeah, for a DD without any extended high RPM runs I don't see it being an issue. If you ran a few laps on a roadcourse you'd probably be buying a new engine though. :p

Yeah, both cars are with me in LA. The TD05 car is so freaking nice I don't even care about this one anymore. I tried to sell it for $3k (figuring I'd get a lowball $2500) and couldn't even get rid of it. :lo5l:

Might as well keep it for beating on. Hell I'd probably take it for 2.5. It's cool you got the TD05 car running good, congrats!
