Hey TB land,
Couple questions about the oil cooler thermostat from a 960 B6304, I have done some internet digging and not able to find much of anything, if any one has a link to where I can find the info that would be great.
I had leaking oil cooler lines and the oil cooler was a bit beat up so I decided to upgrade. Sadly this decision was made almost 2 years ago and it has been in pieces since (damn adulting)...but I digress.
My friend had a spare RX7 (FC) oil cooler and they do seem to be fairly popular for us pistons heads as well (good core size, good flow rate).
However the Mazda oil cooler has a thermostatic bypass built into the oil cooler (opens to the cooling fins between 140 and 149F).
I am wondering if anyone know the temp that Volvo opens their oil cooler at. If it is higher than 150F (which I think it might) would there be any harm in leaving them both in (other than having two failure points). Also any know which side of the oil cooler thermostat is out let and which side is return from cooler?
