Default Exactly why are people getting RS4 oil coolers?

With K04s, I have yet to see my oil temps above 240 degrees. And that is doing 120mph plus, at WOT, in 100+ degree heat. What gives? Does my car just run cool?

Because, the RS4 oil coolers go to 11.

Default When tracking the car you can see close to 300 ( or more) with the K03's

Even running hard on the street i see north of 250. Not good. Should be getting mine in 2-3 weeks. Just a little piece of mind for me. And just a little closer to the RS4 ;-)

What are you hoping your temps will drop to with the oil cooler?

I think I would be happy with 20+ degree drop in temp.

Default @ 120 your temps should be low

At that speed, you're moving a hell of a lot of air over the oil cooler. The reason for upgrading would be if you go WOT at very low speeds.

Default I wonder what type of diff it would make on a slower course....

Like an AutoX or something. Doing my daily Le Mans drive through the canyon (lots of sharp turns, WOT, and hard braking. Speeds anywhere from 30-100mph.) My temps rarely see above 220. Its just when you hold WOT for a LONG *** time that the temps start to creep up.

Oil cooler doesn't kick on until it reaches 175.
