I have the K5L HD cooling option for my Yukon, but I'm searching for ways to add more oil cooling.
What are my options? I'm searching for external engine oil coolers in between lulls at work, but am interested what you guys have already tried.
After replacing my radiator with a larger Champion radiator, and test driving it by going on a 120 mile drive in 90+ degree heat on mostly 75mph interstates. There were no leaks, and coolant temps seemed to be A-OK, so no worries there, but via Torque, my oil temps seemed to be very high ~230 degrees at it's peak while on the interstate.
I'm not aware if there is a direct way that the ECU measures the oil temp, but rather it provides an estimated temp. based on values provided from other sensors (oil pressure, coolant temp, RPM, etc.... correct me if I'm wrong).
Either way, 230 degrees sounds way too high.
