I would be inclined to fit an engine oil temp gauge cause you REALLY dont want to over cool your engine oil...

Where do you mount them?, and how difficult is it? Thanks in advanceI intend to fit one when Kev releases it. I will put a electric solenoid into the line so it will only open when the oil passes a certain temperature.
