Hello-

That may work well for "tropical" winters, but for freezing temperatures, you have a problem: the time when you want the most heat in the car is the time when you have the least in your oil. Remember - we can't directly compare oil coolers to heater cores. Heater cores have a potential to see the brunt of the entire heat load of the engine, but oil coolers just see a little bit (the main amount is aircooled, not oilcooled).

Sorry! :-)

Take care,

That is a good point, but still the oil cooler has a constant supply of 180 deg. oil running through it just like a H2O car has a constant supply of 180-200 deg water though its heater. I'll give it a try some day and get back to ya. But, I only have those "tropical" winters to test it on.
