Oil Cooler Thermostat

vasillalov · 11-27-2009, 08:56 PM

Folks,

I've been wondering if my 335i has a thermostat for the oil cooler? I do have a factory installed oil cooler but I was wondering if there is a thermostat for it?...

Reason for this: Since I live in Chicago and the winters here in the MidWest are often horribly cold, I am thinking it would be smart thing to have a thermostat on the oil cooler so that the oil gets to proper operating temperature quicker.

If we don't have the thermostat, is there an aftermarket company out there that sells these for the N54 engine?

Thanks

There is a thermostat for the oil-cooler. However, it never closes completely but reduces oil-flow through the OC.

Thanks, that's all I needed to know.

I appreciate the input.
