Hi from n.z I've got a 2016 roush stage 3 and having problem with Trans engine oil overheating but only when I track it after about 4-5 laps it has open grille for air to pass through I have also fitted mishimoto Trans and engine oil cooler any ideas other than maybe fitting ice cooler
Thanks Bob

Low fluid or oil?

Hi Tony no fluids are all fine when it has hi reading I take it easy for a couple of laps and Gauges drop back to normal also water temp never goes past half way which is strange as the radiator is the last to get the flowing air.
Thanks Bob

You can go down the rabbit hole of both research and mods. Many of us have. But since you already added the oil and Trans coolers there is not a lot more you can do.

I thought I had my cooling issues licked until tracking at Road America with its 3 long fast straights. Then I was overheating on those straights, again. So I started to short shift those straights to get the temps back down. I even used 8th gear for the first time.

I since have drained one gallon of coolant and replaced it with distilled water (approx 63% water) and will try again this month at NCM with its 3 fast sections. If it's better but still not quite resolved then I will switch to 100% water with two bottles of Water Wetter.

If that still doesn't solve it then I plan to continue to short shift and change my attitude to Oh Well Good Enough.

Having said all this I'm afraid that you may never get a supercharged Coyote to run cool on track unless you install the GT500 cooling system (if that's even possible).

Anything is possible if you have the time and the funds. It’s probably a fairly expensive solution (the GT500 cooling system)
