But as these have the possibility of over cooling the oil or increasing warm up time. If a temperature stat is not used.
I have thought about an oil to water cooler.(Self contained cooler)HERE (http://www.dana.com/Automotive_Systems/Products/Thermal%20Products/EOC/filtermountedeoc.aspx) As this will help warm up the oil quicker and will stabilise the temperature at about 90deg C possible a bit higher.
Doing this will mean i dont need an temp stat.
This could be for both Engine and gearbox.
basically will this idea work the only reason i can think of is will it over stress the cooling system of lack of space

You only need a ATF cooler, if you drive your car hard enough to overheat it :inquisiti

true and most of the time it sits in the barn whilst i run around on diesel you paid for :pimp2: but when it does get dragged out it could do with one , especially when towing

Currently looking at free stuff I can get though work or have currently at work.(Ally Gear Knob Next week and any thing else:thinking: )
Was thinking that having the cooler running with the water system it would stabilize rather than a cold shock possibility.
