Engine Oil Coolers
Almost one third of the heat generated by the engine must be removed by the vehicle's two cooling systems. That's correct, your engine has two cooling systems. (1) The top of the engine: the area around each cylinder in the engine block, the combustion chamber areas in the cylinder heads and the intake manifold, dispel heat through the engine's radiator coolant system. (2) The rest of the engine: the crankshaft, bearings, camshaft, lifters, connecting rods and pistons are only cooled by engine oil.
The ideal operating range for engine oil is 180°F through 200°F. While operating within this range, the oil works as a lubricant, coolant, and cleansing agent in the engine. Modern engines generally run with radiator coolant temperatures between 200°F and 220°F with oil temperature ranges between 20°F and 75°F HOTTER. In other words, when the engine is performing flawlessly, the engine oil is already overheating! Oil that exceeds 220°F rapidly loses its ability to lubricate and cool causing accerlerated fatigue and premature component failure.
Perma-Cool® Engine Oil Coolers can reduce the oil temperature to between 180°F to 200°F and keep it there. Benefits are:
Penguins
* Longer engine life
* Reduced heat load on engine and radiator
* Increased oil system capacity
* Lower under-hood temperatures and more!
If you spend any time in stop-and-go traffic, do any kind of towing, drive in a hot climate, or frequently use your air conditioning, your engine needs a Perma-Cool® Engine Oil Cooler!

BTW: Mods... if i wasn't supposed to cut/paste from their website, just let me know and i'll edit the post.
