Are you running the radiator cooler as well?
I wasn't thinking flashpoint but thermal break down, good link. When I was researching high temp air cooled engine oil last summer all the literutre said automotive engine oil begins to break down at or about 240 degrees. I will hav eto find this info again.
Anybody have a formula to figure temp transfer per square inch of surface area at a given air temp and given fluid temp. Gotta go cut wood.
Here're some pic's of the water to oil trans cooler I'm going to run on my ride.

I'm not sure I buy this "it's a transmission heater in the winter time" deal. I've heard that from more than one person. How can that be, when the first several miles could be driven without the thermostat on the engine opening, and the water in the rad could be ice cold.
Also, no one will ever convince me this is to work as a heater either. If you don't believe me, watch a trans temp gage and a coolant gage - even if the coolant temp is taken in the cylinder head, the trans temp in every automatic I have ever had rose faster than the coolant temp - at least to operating temperature. So how could 100 coolant help heat ATF that is 110 degrees - I was born at night, but not last night...
So this is stating a 10 degree drop from outlet to inlet.
