You gotta give details on the 2 oil coolers. Is it just 2 stock oil coolers or what? And how did you do it.

You see my mods, at the dunes with 20-50 mobile 1 , i was running an average temp of 225, with a max of 250.
The weather was 90+ degrees

In Very tight trails, with 15-50 mobile 1, I was running average temp of 250, with a max of 275! The weather was also about 90+ degrees.

I know I'm running way to hot. I'd like to always stay around 225. But i'm far from that right now. Get that digital camera out and show us how you hooked them coolers up.
