I am considering purchasing the oil cooler shutter  that Vans offers, but

dont exactly understand the need for this product.  Shouldnt a correctly

operating vernatherm, which most of our engines come with,  do the same

job, or am I missing something?

Contrary to what I have read on some of the posts, the vernitherm always

lets a bit of oil through to the oil cooler.  I know because I tested

it.



By blocking the airflow to the oil cooler, you will be able to raise the

oil temp.  My concern with Van's set-up is that when their shutter is

open, it is also blocking 1/2 of the air to the oil cooler..... So when

your engine is running hot and you need to cool the oil real bad, you

are losing airflow.  I know you could remove it in the summer, but that

would defeat the purpose.

The vernatherm only bypasses the oil cooler, it does not restrict the flow to it, so you will always have some oil going to the cooler.
