Need some advice

[GUNDAN323]

Yeah, I agree with that.

I wanted to get clarification when ppl recommend "accusump" for track days do they mean:
• 3qt accusump
or
• 3qt accusump + external oil cooler

Thanks,
Dan

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I've been doing a lot of reading on Prime about the accusump and haven't been able to find an answer if an oil cooler is "important" to add.

I have been thinking about adding an 3qt accusump to my street/hpde car as a precaution and plan to get a baffle also.

Many people primarily recommend adding an accusump, but rarely any mention of an external oil cooler. Should I also get an oil cooler also? I plan to only do hpde sessions as this is a street car.

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I did them both at the same time, SOS package deal made it sort of a no brainer since I was already in there messing with it. Personally since I track my car alot in the summer in California deserts its as much piece of mind just to know its there doing its thing. My 3 qt accusump actually just saved my engine from a total rebuild, im going to update my thread on here soon but when the oil gear blew the 3 quarts got be back to the pits (should just shut it down, i now know) with only the start of rod bearing failure, coulda been a LOT worse

Never mind.

I found some posts recommending getting both the accusump + oil cooler.

The answer I get from everyone is an oil cooler won't hurt. I did install a oil temp gauge and at buttonwillow at 90f pushing hard the oil temp reach 270. Mobile one says you are good up to 400. Most mechanics say 300 is max. I change my oil after every track day and notice that the oil is a little burned (looks like watery coffee)

I probably will add a oil cooler later later and I am using a oil pan baffle with NO accusump. Hope this helps.
