I had the front end done, that's the best bang for the buck, IMO. It included the hood, bumper, fenders, headlights, side mirrors, and the A pillars. It was around $2250 for Stek PPF.

I don't disagree with that, what I was trying to point out with that graphic is that just becase the pan temp is 205F doesn't mean it's 205F everywhere. Oil elsewhere in the engine, like in the bearings/cylinder walls/etc, is far hotter than in the pan ... so burnoff still can happen. It's...

24 Non PP w/ added oil cooler ~80F Day 279F Highest Before 256F Highest After

You provided a post about engine life/miles as 'evidence' that the higher temp was better, but it lacked any detail. Maybe those details are just in your head, but none were conveyed. Was it a Honda CRV, Motorcycle, or a dirt track car? Nothing about oils. Forced induction? Nothing...

So, we trust the marketing data provided by oil companies and discount the data from cooler companies? And, I'd note that we're talking about it in relation to an engine that doesn't even have an oil temp sensor in the first place.

Please provide any contrarian datapoints. Pan Temp or Bearing/Ring/Etc temp?

As long as the oil cooler is thermastatically controlled, and the Ford unit is, what's the down side? My car, without the AC on, would run in the low 230s without doing much. I mention the AC because it makes a noticable difference in (calculated) oil temp on my car. I would note that the...

It's the temp on the outside of the cooler hoses, not the actual oil temp. The oil cooler has a thermal valve in it anyway, it blocks off the cooler below 204F.

The underbelly pan on the S650 needed a little trimming to account for the backet. I don't think an S550 would have it that issue. As part of the install, I cut holes in the fender liner to allow air flow through the cooler. I tried an aftermarket fender liner, because the OEM PP lines...

I installed one on my S650.

I'd trade my 6 speed manual for a dual clutch paddle setup.

To me, it sounds like air on the intake side, rather than the exhaust side.

This might be it, but I don't know what year you have, check the diagram: https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts/ford-cover-seat-belt-upper_fr3z-7660263-ae.html?vin=&make=Ford&model=Mustang&year=2024&submodel=&extra1=&extra2=&filter=(r=1366;e=1755)

Right, no need to guess. If you do want to measure fuel dillution, don't use Blackstone.
