I'm on a curiosity voyage and hoping everyone here can help provide me some paddles.
I have the HKS oil cooler installed on my FK8 and have been wondering if it makes an impact during normal driving (which is hard to do empirically since we have no oil temp sensor.) Something that has been bothering me is I feel that my temperature gauge for the coolant seems to be reading a hair lower as compared to before the oil cooler. It's bothering me because I didn't pay much attention to the gauge level prior to the install. So while I feel that the gauge settles at a level maybe 5-10% lower than without the cooler, I can't rule out the fact that I may be imagining the improvement because I want to see one. I wondered if anyone without an oil cooler would be able to post a picture of their steady state temperature gauge reading - I posted my gauge with the oil cooler here. I need my paddles.
