Keeping oil temp under control
Keeping oil temp under control
Normaly my Evo's oil temp stays around 85 degrees celsius but when I get to the track it goes over 120 degrees before I finish the first lap.
I'm using a ducted setrab cooler a notch bigger than oil OEM cooler.
I would be more comfortable with temps around 110 degrees on the track.
Any help / thoughts?

Lots of discussion on this in this thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/mo...ure-track.html
Means your water temps were very high too. This is why having a water temp gauge is important. The stock gauge is mostly an "idiot light" it stays in the same spot over a wide range of temps.

I've tracked my car a few times on the stock radiator and stock oil cooler with no issues @450whp. I'm also using E85 so that helps alot.
Oil temp gets to 250-260*
A Ralliart 170* T stat is a good idea for open track use. The stock one opens at 180* but my car seemed to always run at 190+ Now its 170-180* for the most part.
I've used the 170* for a few years and the one downside I've found is the heater doesn't work that well. I'm in FL so thats not a big concern.
I'm also a fan of 20-50wt oil for hard track days on slicks.
