Cool Collar Oil Filter Coolers



I think that it is....please put in your 0.02¢

 

Whatever floats your boat....

 

that thing looks just as worthless as the tonado air, I would be willing to bet your oil filter gets hotter after you put it on then before you did

 

hahah

 

a gimmick. if you want/need your engine oil to be cooler, just get a regular cooler. another benefit would be an increased oil capacity. but i dont see a need for an engine oil cooler for our cars.

 

its a cooler for your oil filter...metal heat sinks made from aluminum... i dont see how its a gimmick. yea it can reduce oil temperatures by dissapating heat... will it reduce it A LOT, no.

 

I ordered one, they had it on HP TV or 2 guys garage...

 

yea, it was on horse power tv... but on a pretty high power big block.

 

It wasn't on any car. It was on their marketplace segment...

 

werent they gonna put it on the project nova?

 

I don't know, maybe, but they didn't say they were...

 

Dang. I need to change my vote. I thought we were voting on oil coolers in general, not that ridiculous piece of crap.

I agree with inifitiman, it probably makes your oil hotter. The reason why is that even though the finned collar dissipates heat better than a smooth filter surface, the heat has to travel across the interface between the filter and the cooler. There is always a resistance to heat flow at an interface, and surface area contact is probably down below 50%, so it would be better to just have air flow right at the filter surface. That cooler is probably more of a blanket than anything.

 

It may be worth it it it was magnetic and could trap fine metallic particles in the filter (that mmay pass through)and cool the oil at the same time.

 

WEll, look at the location of the oil filter.....in a wheel well. It will get plenty of air flow.

Also, it was on Horse Power TV. It was on their gear segment, and not on any car.

I just thought it might be worth to do since an oil cooler is really overkill for our cars, but with the oil filter location it might be worth doing since it will get plenty of airflow.

 

well it gets air flow... so would react well to air blowing across heat sinks. if the poil filter is hot enough to hurt performance the heat would travel into the oil cooler...not get contained by it (and therefore get hotter)
