Description:
Every watercooled VW needs an oil cooler other than the factory unit. Volkswagens simply run too hot of an oil temperature in stock form.
A high-output engine in a cramped engine compartment can generate a lot of heat. Not only do high engine temperatures contribute to lubricant breakdown, they also contribute to a shorter engine life and/or loss in overall horsepower.
A properly installed oil cooler will give your car extra thermal cooling to keep heat under control during periods of peak demand.
Oil lubricates best in the range of 180° to 212° F. Below this temp, the oil isn't hot enough to burn off harmful contaminants. Temps above 230°F, it starts to thin out and oxidize, reducing lubrication significantly. The Mocal thermostatic sandwich plates return oil to the engine when it's below 180°F, allowing the engine to warm up quickly. Once warm, the thermostat opens, and the oil flows to the cooler to keep temperatures within the ideal range.
Kit includes:
(1) Mocal Sandwich Plate thermostatic
(2) 1/2" x -10an unions
(2) 1/2" sealing washers
(8') 5/8" i.d. hose stainless FBA1000
(2) 90 degree hose ends
(2) straight hose ends
(2) adell clamps
(2) oil cooler strap/bracket
(1) assorted hardware nuts/bolts
NOTE: Be sure to pick out your oil cooler heat exchanger for a complete bolt on kit!
