P1000 cool test

[dale5740]

If u are planning to switch to synthetic from conventional your first or next oil change do this little test! Check ambient air temp and from a totally cold start time how long it takes for your fan to pop on. Then change oil and again from a totally cold start at same ambient air temp do it again and see how long it takes. Remember it takes several hours for the unit to cool completely!! prob 3-4 hours maybe more. (not sure)

I wish they had an oil temp gauge stock. Or someone could come up with an adapter to bolt onto the oil cooler so you could easily add an external oil cooler on top of the heat exhanger

Im adding one when I do Ill be letting u know all about it.

Cooler or a gauge?

oil temp and pressure gage! Also coolant temp gage as well digital so I can see actual temp rather than just the emblems that pop up. the one I am going to use for that is made by trial teck check it out Trail Tech || TTO - Engine Temp, Voltage, Tach/Hour

I use them on my drag bikes work awesome lots of different options and no wiring runs off watch battery I assume but I have one that is 5 years old and still never put a battery in it yet!!

I had one of their Vapor gauge sets on 450 dirt bike. They make nice stuff.

Hi Dale, This gauge sounds cool. Which model would you choose? I see only Honda engines upto 450. I do not have very good practical sense when it comes to this stuff.

all the temperatures are the same from all there devices etc. meaning they all read actual temps regardless of the gauge

what are u looking for coolant temp or oil temp? they also have one that goes under spark plug non abrasive and gives u engine temp that way!

when u ae looking at temps consistency is what maters not actual temp! for instance if u use a temp gauge and it reads 210 when actually 22o no big deal cause u will see what normal operating temp is during normal operations and see the differences when pushing hard etc
