Wondering if anyone has experience, advice, or their two cents to throw in about low-temp oil cooler 'stats. The stock ones have an opening temp of 194 °F. These aftermarket ones from Rotary Performance open at 165 °F.
The best one I'm seeing look to be the RRP version that maintains a Banjo bolt on the cooler side and JIC on the other. If you're into modding and you'll already be down there, the real best option would be to upgrade your cooling and install an oil to water cooler.
The fix is as simple as unscrewing the original oil thermostat and installing a replacement. Our preference is to install a 165 degree replacement. This is a 40 degree reduction in opening temperature. An important note, automatic transmission RX-8’s have one cooler and one thermostat.
