Oil cooler imminent?

I'm up tip a 20 degree spread between the two. Is it a matter of time?

Ford states 15 degrees as the time to change the oil cooler.

If your EGR is deleted some argue that deltas no longer matter as much.

I'm getting it cruising through tuning hills in Montana. At WOT uphill the gaps close to 6 degrees.

EGR is still there. As far as I know it's a stock truck

For the spread to be valid the truck must be thoroughly warmed up, app. 15 miles highway driving, and then cruising between 60 and 65 mph with no load on flat ground. Climbing, cresting or descending hills will give you a bogus reading.
