Optimum engine power will only be delivered at correct temperatures. The elimination of drag in engines caused by cold oil is a most important consideration, especially with a racing engine, revving the engine without a load will not put much heat into the oil and devices for preheating the oil may not be available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is therefore desirable to control of the oil flow through the cooler by a thermostatic device, we call an oilstat, set to divert oil to the cooler at 80°C (although a wide range of settings is available for special applications). This is the minimum temperature required to evaporate and dispel contaminating substances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMocal Oilstats\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be built into the oil cooler take off for most engines with spin-off filters, they add nothing to the thickness of the plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAre available as a separate unit to be fitted into the oil lines.

Control is by a “waxstat”, a mass produced item built to highest standards. They are light enough to be supported by the hoses, however a bracket is supplied with the slightly heavier OT\/2, if further restraint is required. The oilstats should only be used where oil cooling is adequate, the sensing device will suffer permanent damage above 140°C, replacements are available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eShipping is calculated at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VAG Cafe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54982021054677,"sku":"100000263","price":3465.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/9196\/2837\/files\/IMG_2127-e1511874962616.jpg?v=1789846545","url":"https:\/\/montigenix.co.za\/products\/vag-oos-9058-mocal-oil-stat","provider":"MONTIGENIX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
