Your engine’s cooling and oil systems are critical for maintaining optimal performance, especially under high stress. Whether you’re pushing your vehicle on the track or taking long trips on the road, having the right cooling and oil management components ensures that your engine runs smoothly, avoiding overheating and excessive wear.
Advanced Oil & Cooling Solutions for Performance Vehicles
From oil coolers to breather catch cans and sump baffles, our range of cooling and oil management products is designed to meet the needs of performance vehicles. These parts are essential for controlling temperature, managing oil pressure, and keeping your engine well-lubricated even under extreme conditions.
Oil Coolers and Thermostats: Controlling Engine Temperature
Keeping your oil at the right temperature is crucial for performance. Components like the PWR Transmission Cooler Kit for Commodore VT-VE and Universal Remote Engine Oil Cooler Thermostat are built to prevent overheating by regulating oil temperature.
Using an oil cooler reduces the risk of your engine oil breaking down under high heat, which enhances the longevity and performance of your engine.
Sensor Blocks and Catch Cans: Managing Pressure and Oil Flow
In-line oil Sensor Blocks help you monitor vital engine statistics while keeping the oil flowing freely through your system. The VCM VE/VF Oil Breather Catch Can is another critical component, capturing excess oil vapours and preventing them from re-entering your engine and clogging up your intake system.
This ensures your engine stays clean and performs optimally, preventing issues such as carbon build-up and excessive oil consumption.
Sump Baffles and Oil Pans: Preventing Oil Starvation
High-performance vehicles, especially those used in racing or heavy-duty applications, can experience oil sloshing under high G-forces. Sump baffles, such as the VE-F Sump Baffle and VY-VZ Commodore Racing Oil Pan Baffle, are designed to ensure that oil remains around the pickup, preventing oil starvation and reducing the risk of serious engine damage.
FAQs About Cooling and Oil Management Systems
Why are oil coolers important for performance vehicles? Oil coolers prevent your engine from overheating by regulating oil temperature, which leads to better lubrication and reduced engine wear. For performance vehicles, cooler oil translates to better engine performance and longevity.
What does a catch can do in my vehicle? A catch can traps oil vapours and contaminants that would otherwise enter your intake system, helping to keep the engine clean and reduce carbon build-up, which improves overall performance.
Do I need a sump baffle for my race car? Yes, if your vehicle experiences high G-forces from sharp turns or acceleration, a sump baffle will ensure that oil stays near the pickup, preventing starvation and maintaining constant lubrication to protect the engine.
How often should I replace my oil cooler? An oil cooler typically does not need frequent replacement unless it becomes damaged or clogged. Routine maintenance and inspections are important to ensure your cooling system operates effectively.
