People with oil coolers, what's you crusing oil temp?
I finally got my RS4 Oil cooler hooked up. ECS forgot to ship me the oil filter adapter, so it I couldn't get it plumed in. Yesterday when I changed the oil, I put in the adapter & hooked up the lines.
So I know it's working, the cooler is warm when I touch it. I drove it a little hard to try & get the oil temp up. But it is stuck @ 200!
This is where I think it should be at, my thoughts are in the summer or at the track it should not go past 225ish?

It should stay pretty much at *stock* temp. It becomes of use under hot and hard
driving conditions. It will still keep the temp' around the 225*, where running hard w/out one would tend to bring the oil temp' up and take longer to cool it.

Cruising temp is about 175 with ambient temp between 35 and 45.
When driving up Parleys Canyon (interstate road, climbing 2500 feet in 10 miles, avg speed 75mph) on Monday, oil temp hit 200F for a few minutes, then settled back down to 175F.

for reference, my stock temp was around 225.
