Installed Mosselman oil thermostat
Hey guys, just installed my Mosselman oil thermostat today. Noticed a significant difference in oil temperatures right away. Also paired with the mishimoto oil cooler. After driving all day in 100 degree (F) heat. The oil temperature stayed consistent on the first bar even while driving hard it barely fluctuated.

Is that on Sport + or just the same temp across all driving modes?

Love the bling under the hood, but I'm just curious, what is the point of this for a car that isn't just used for tracking? Does this increase the flow of oil to the oil cooler before the thermostat opens? Would this actually increase the efficiency of the air/oil radiator when the thermostat is open? And don't you want warmer oil when you're in efficient mode so that you can burn off the water in the oil and keep the engine as efficient as possible for daily driving? Once the thermostat is open (or you've put it in Sport + mode) the oil is now flowing to the oil cooler and will cool the oil until it reaches the temperature the ECU has deemed to be cool enough and then it closes. Does the flow increase measurably in that situation too?
