Keeping the oil warm (over 212°) and the coolant cool is going to produce a happy engine. I still have an oil cooler on the drag car, but removed the oil coolers from the street cars. During the cooler weather the oil just wasn't getting warm enough to purge the moisture.
The other thing I found out was you stick a monster engine oil cooler along with a monster trans cooler, and an A/C condenser in front of your radiator and they do a pretty good job of stifling airflow. Coolant temps dropped 20° by eliminating the oil cooler and going to a smaller better suited trans cooler, and engine oil temps didn't go up that much.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
