I read about the Ultra Cool oil cooler in the June edition of American Bagger. I like the concept (fan assisted) and appearance. Anyone have any experiecnce with this cooler?
I'll be interested to hear your take on it. I was thinking you could combine a cooler with a hi-flow PC cooling fan to do something similar but this one even has a thermostat to allow the engine to come up to temp quickly.
Pretty neat, but pretty expensive. Looking at the pictures of it installed, looks like getting the oil filter off without getting oil all over would be a challenge though (I like to use a half-gallon plastic jug cut down to slide
under the oil filter.
Lot of dough. I think for that much, I'd go with the Baker Plus 1.
The Baker Plus 1 indicates it reduces oil temp at least 10 degrees. The Ultra Cool Oil Cooler indicates it keeps the oil between 190 degrees and 210 degrees. If it can keep oil at no more than 210 degrees no matter how hot the day, it's much more effective than the Baker Plus 1.
I agree.
I think the concept of the Ultracool is superior to the Baker.
The Ultracool regulates the oil temp, while the Baker just reduces it across the temp range.
Cold or too hot oil is the engines demon, and it seams like the UC addresses that problem more effectively.
Just my 2 cents worth.
