-"They" had synthetic oil in the 1940s

That's when the chemical age dawned and we started making synthetic everything. And god said let there be plastic.

for people who ask why do this, maybe the OP was tired of getting his oil cooler ripped off on speed bumps like I am. I'm on my second oil cooler and just ordered that threaded nipple for the oil cooler delete. Is there a significant temp difference without an oil cooler? is there anything else I need besides the threaded nipple?

if you're destroying your oil cooler over speed bumps, I can't imagine your valance is very pretty looking and the rest of your undercarriage is probably destroyed, so go ahead. :up:

i have a good reason to remove one.

My Gf is about to start driving a lowered 89 325is and i dont want to have to repair it when she runs into a parking block.

Im thinking about moving it up behind the grill if not removing it all together.

diconnected oil cooler on Aust 325i by dealer at delivery 1988

bypassed oil cooler on delivery in aust compliance model and yes i would like to remove weight as it is bypassed anyway

whats that a pic of? instead of running to a cooler you have the lines run to a res?

so what do you need to run a I without an oil cooler? I just bought the nipple thing that threads into the block, do I just throw the filter in the other side of it? It seems to me I need a housing of some sort, anyone have a pic of an E engine near the oil filter?

The only proper way to delete the oil cooler is to swap in an S52.

Skip the oil cooler delete and just go for the engine delete mod

Weight reduction == more MPG?

I think the only M20s that DIDNT come with the oil cooler were etas. They kind of dont see the same "abuse" as the "i" models due to lower red lines. *shrugs*

Nope, my ETA has it.

Just unplug 3 spark plugs, you only use half the power anyways...

thats a right-hand drive e30. That res is a brake fluid res.

[abepark]

ok so why is that pic relevent to an oil cooler delete thread? and is there any detremental effects (way too high oil pressure,low oil pressure) if I delete my oil cooler?

OP: I'll give you $30 bucks for the cooler and lines shipped when you delete it.
