Passenger Side Oil Cooler
Just wanted to see who else has done this on their AT rx8 and see what your impressions were before and after the install?
One thing I notice is that when the car is at running temperature the idle seems to be a bit smoother. I don't have temp. gauges in the car as of yet so I don't have any before and after temps. Does anyone on here know how much it brings the temp. down adding the second oil cooler? I have read 30 degrees F but do not know how accurate that is.
One other thing I would like to know is does anyone else notice that the oil at every change is dark? Not black but definitely a lot darker than I would expect considering I change my oil every 3k miles.
Cheers

We did this mod to a friend's RX-8. On track days his oil temps were about 40-45 degrees cooler after the install. Very worthwhile modification.

Its not a big deal, oil color is far from an indication that it has lost its lubricating properties.
