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. |

the VW GTI/GLI oil cooler is just like that, and it works pretty darned well IME. liquid/liquid heat exchangers are pretty efficient. since it's jacket water, it tends to heat the oil to operating temp fast and then it keeps it around 185F. the heat is actually rejected to the airstream by the big front-mounted radiator, so you don't have more aero drag and you don't have two kinds of plumbing. for a street car that only occasionally operates at high loads for a long time (which tend to increase both water and oil temps) it does a pretty good job of operating the engine in a fairly narrow well-regulated temperature range. |
