What do you think? Gimmick? I find the 12% figure a little hard to believe. Maybe they were just measuring inlet/outlet temperature of the filter, not OVERALL oil temperature.
(IMG:http://content.madirect.com/img300/fr2423.jpg) From the Tweeks website: Tests have revealed a 12% reduction in oil temperature thanks to the Cool Collar, a finned aluminum cooler that increases the surface area by four times, allowing it to radiate heat faster and more efficiently. Unit fits all air and water-cooled Porsche oil filters with a simple slip-on, clamp down installation. |

Hi,
I've met the guy who invented this device. He has a few other things on the market that work pretty well. I used one of these things on my 911 and I think the 12% figure is a bit optomistic. I would guess maybe a couple of degrees at most. It may be worth it though when used in conjuction with other cooling equipment. Cheers, Elliot |
