I have just installed B&M oil cooler in my car. Today I took the car for a ride and found out at normal driving it will hit 212, and if I drive like hard for 2 minutes it will hit 248 and the red light on my oil temp gauge will flash. How come that the temp raises if I have cooler, is that because I have normal engine oil. 80% of the cooler is installed behind the low down where ther is opening at the bumper where it can get more airflow. I was thinking maybe because I have small hole grill infront of the bumper to protect the AC and radiator from rocks, that it restrict the air flow, or because the remain 20% of the cooler is behind the bumper and doesn't reach any air.

 

You can test if the air flow is the problem pretty easily with a hacked together air duct just to test it.

I'd like to see some pictures though if you can.

 

why are you soo concerned with oil temps... oil cooler is overkill on a fit.

 

I just install it because we have very hot weather back here.

 

if you didn't get an oil temp light before and you do get the light after the install, I would suspect something is installed wrong...

 

The install is right. The red light is from aftermarket oil temp gauge. The install is plug and play.

 

what temp is the after market senser set for? maybe faulty

 

What do you mean by set.
