Bypass oil filter/oil cooler?
Ok, there are oil by-pass filters which pull oil from filter housing into an external filter, then returns into the fill tube.
Now, What if you were to take that system, instead of flowing through a filter, you run it through an external cooler mounted in the grill, then feed it back into the fill tube.
Could this work to lower the oil temps say while pulling loads?
Any thoughts? Or would that cool the oil too much.

do you have a link to this bypass filter
I have thought about it before getting a after market tranny cooler and plumbing it in
I just didnt know how I was going to tye it all in
this kit maybe a way
another thought was the BPD ones do have a thermistate set to open at 180
I can see the thermistate thing being a problem in winter maybe it just needs a valve to shut it off during the winter times.IDK

Here is an Amsoil page with different Ford set ups. They have all the connections for their system.
AMSOIL By-Pass Filter Bypass Installations
Challenge would be, just how much oil would flow through an external cooler. And, could a person actually allow too much flow. And hinder the system.
I'm not looking at having a filter at all in this, just cooler in the grill.
And yes, I'm thinking a shut off valve in winter.
