N63TU Oil Cooler Valve
Those that have installed the oil cooler valve, what have been the average oil temps during moderate use. I’m considering installing one during my next oil change, I live in Texas, but I’ve also read that it’s important for oil temps to stay above 212 degrees Fahrenheit so that water and other deposits are removed from the oil. Any thoughts? Even after abuse in texas heat I’ve never seen my oil temp close to 250 degrees.

I've had it for about 50k miles. Temps stay between 190-210 depending on speed and weather. Idling or driving in traffic it will sometimes get up to 215+.
I live in Florida.

It doesn’t concern you that the oil isnt getting hot enough to burn off deposits? I suppose a good test would be to do an oil analysis prior to install and then post install and see if there is an increase in deposits or water after 5k miles, my personal oil interval.

And even aside from what can by categorized as "just my opinion", I get regular oil analysis so I'm aware if anything is operating abnormally. All of my results have come back without concern. View post on imgur.com

I know this is a n63 tu post but I have an 11 non tu. And I was told to get the oil cooler valve too. By a knowledgeable friend who has had his for quite some time with many mods. But he lives in Atlanta and I live in Ohio. But I still in cold weather see my temps around the same 210-225 depending if I’m pushing her hard. I did just get an inspection at bmw the mechanic told me that my car was driven by a nun do to it’s condition, however I’m adding a lot of things this winter and I’d like to keep the car for a while. What do y’all think.

You can swap the M5 charge coolers but it requires some modification and doesn't gain you much.

oil cooler valve
i don't feel its the solution for cooling due to the name of the product from the factory is oil filter bypass valve.
so i think the solution should be different, here are my opinion: 1- better downpipe the downpipe if its high flow catted or cattless will decrease the temps. 2- thermostat but not the type that will make the temps very cold like it open 85c no i found that mishimoto did thermostat that fit the N63 "MMTS-F80-15" that open 100c which is not less than 100c for great reason and the reason is to evaporate the water that could be in the engine to keep the oil quality in its better form. keep the car perform the way the manufacture did but slight decrease in temps with better downpipe should do the job |
