Oil Cooler now available from Rehagen racing for the 5.0
#22
I had a thread a while back (maybe not this site) where I mentioned my oil, Mobil 1, was very dark after track days. Almost as if it were burnt. Other `05 and up trackers still had clear oil. Don`t remember this occuring on my earlier `06 either. Anyone know if the oil still is effective in this state or are we going to need these oil-coolers for tracking.
Cheers.

The 07+ GT500s have an oil cooler, its wierd little bugger, and interestingly if you have to disconnect the oil cooler for whatever reason, Ford says to replace it as it can severely damage the engine if reused again.
The cooler is finned, but I think its a hybrid design that uses liquid to liquid cooling as well.

Link to Rehagen.
I was there a few weeks ago and the oil cooler I saw was huge. If that is the one they are selling it will do a great job controlling oil temperature. I made my own kit and added a oil thermostat as my car is still street driven and I want the oil to warm fast but then stay cool. Not really needed on a track car where you can let the car warm up.

yeah, couldn't find it on their site.
I wonder if they're using a thermostat in their setup. I think if I piece one together it won't have one, as the summer weather here is pretty hot, and I can afford to let the car warm up a bit when its cold out. I might engineer a cover for it however.
