You do realize that oil heat is dissipated from a cooler, even when it's just sitting, as the oil temps are higher then the ambient temps outside??
Outside: 90*.....oil temp: 210*.......
Do you think your car doesn't cool if it's sitting still? It still cools, even
without moving air, or the electric fan running, by fluid circulation and heat shedding alone. Does it cool as well? No...but it still sheds heat.
An oil cooler does the same thing..........synthetic oil makes it work even better....increased oil capacity adds to the efficiency.
Then, once airflow begins again, it cools faster then without [cooler] it.
Yeah......it's a waste of money.......
