Remote Oil Thermostats

Remote Oil Thermostats

• Automatically regulates oil temperature
• Provides quicker warm-ups to operating temperatures
• Prevents over-cooling in cold climates
• For use with transmission coolers and engine coolers

   Maintaining proper oil temperature is critical in today's sophisticated engines and automatic transmissions. Installation of an auxillary oil cooler helps keep the oil below the 200°F maximum temperature. However, installation of a remote oil thermostat, in addition to an oil cooler, will help warm the oil up to operating temperatures faster. That is a plus at start-up or on cold days when the oil is thick and takes longer to get into the oil galleys.

   When oil temperature exceeds 180°F the thermostatic valve closes, allowing 95% flow through the oil cooler. At temperatures below 180°F the valve is open, with 90% of the oil bypassing the cooler. The remaining 10% of the oil flows through the cooler, maintaining constant system pressure, preventing air pockets and eliminating cold oil shock. Flows up to 20 gallons per minute (GPM). Rated to 200 p.s.i. Thermostat mounting kits containing four brass fittings, four stainless steel hose clamps and two nylon tie mounts are sold separately.

Note: Select the thermostat and mounting kit for your application. Choose 3/8-inch NPT ports for all but the competition oil cooler coils, which use 1/2-inch NPT ports. After selecting a thermostat, then also select the appropriate mounting kit, either one with 11/32-inch barbed hose ends for transmission coolers or with 1/2-inch barbed hose ends for oil coolers.
