Colorado drivers: What is your oil temp going over the passes?
Going from Boulder to Vail and my oil temp ALWAYS is at 12 noon (just over the 130 degree celcius line). It is impossible to keep off the throttle as well once you start the journey up from Golden as well...
Anyone have this same issue or is it just me?

I got a crazy quote from 2Bennett of ~ $600 for an upgraded oil cooler
don't know of anyone else who makes a kit though... but it can't be good for the engine
glad someone else is in my same boat with this!

Marc Swanson has fabbed up a pretty sweet oil cooler...
his came in under $200 I believe...I just don't have the fab skills he does.
Maybe EFI Express feels like doing a kit........hmmmmmmm?

I was there until I put on the larger cooler, now I'm a shade over the 1st line pushing hard.
up I-70. Every 5 banger I've owned (NA and turbo) had very high temps on that hill FWIW Brian, it's a killer grade as you know. My '89 100S used to hit 130c like clock work..
