Skobalpinista Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I own a Lupo Tdi with 195000km since 2003Presently I need to drive 300km a day and I m intending to reprogram the engine from 75hpw to 90 hpw but I would prefer to be carefull and instal an oilradiator to keep my engine in good shape. How much will I pay for that??Which brand should I use? Where should I fit it?Do you think is a good idea or I am going to waste money.I change oil and filters each 15000km and I always use castro ledge tdi 5w 40w and I add slick 50 every 50 000kmSo far no oil consumption or problems in the engine...Give me your help and opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperWeight1 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 You're best off installing an oil temp gauge first and seeing if you actually need an oil cooler.If you do need one then a small one will normally suffice with a thermostatic take off.

Skobalpinista Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I have been using slick 50 in all my car and in Lupo since 50 000 the results are great especially in noise while cold in the morning!!I hev teswted also in a panda from 1988 and in a clio 1.9d from 1994 .All run withh full synthetic oil and they don't consume!! Only my opinion of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
