Hey guys. I seem to be having an issue with my oil temps lately on my 7m. Just a little bit of info on my setup first. stock rebuilt ct at 12psi. I have my Innovate oil temp and pressure sensors between the block, in a sandwich adapter, and my oil filter relocation kit. no longer have the factory oil filter housing. I have a derale oil t stat and a 13 row 7 1/2 inch x 11 1/2 inch oil cooler with -10an lines. and running about 80psi of oil pressure at 3k highway speed with fully warmed up motor. shimmed dm highperformance pump at 5mm, azperformance oil supply kit, and rebuilt motor.
The issue i am having is when i am on the highway at above 2.5k and 3k (cruising speed) i see my oil temps just start increasing on my gauge. I can let off the gas at go back to below 2.5 and i would see the oil start cooling off. but when i get back up to speed, it starts getting really hot again. Gradually, it has been getting worse and saw temps at 250 recently. the oil i am using is castrol dino oil 10-30. i have only about 7k on the motor.
I talked to my machinist and he is thinking that it is because i am using this type of adapter http://derale.com/products/filtration/engine2013-10-28-09-53-27459934969/spin-on-adapters/premium-high-output-rad-fan-mounting-kit-with-ratcheting-brackets-and-nylon-rods-and-clips-detail and its slowing down the flow of oil to the cooler.
i wanted to see your guys thoughts on this before i redo everything again. thanks!
