coincedentally, my dual filter setup showed up here yesterday.. I
haven't had a chance to look at what I'll need to do for better hoses
or where I'll put it, but an oil cooler was also on my list of Good
Ideas to go along with the dual filters - though simply by having more
oil volume and having it flow away from the engine and back you're
already cooling it quite a bit.
anyone with experience have thoughts on this? and just what does high
oil temps do other than break down the oil faster?
