Kiawasaki FR651V oil cooler ?

Because these are air cooled engines, making sure the cylinder heads and cooling fins are free of dirt, grass, and debris is also important. Oil coolers help no doubt, however, do not neglect checking and cleaning engine under the shroud and tins as necessary.

I suggest, if you haven't already, Google "purpose/benefits of oil cooler on small air cooled engine."

All of this is from Google using YOUR search words. As we will see, I captured every paragraph link and posted here for all to see. Notice the SOURCES on the right side of the screen grabs. None are credible.

You can put three coolers on if you wish. Use Rolls Royce aviation turbine oil if you like. Just don't see much of a benefit, from my poor eyes. Just a mower engine.

In my short life, I have always understood that oils (transmission/engine) have an optimum operating temperature range.

Overcooling is no more beneficial than overheating.

• Cooler oil does not perform/protect your engine any better than optimum temperature oil.
• Cooler oil will cost hp/more fuel to be used.
• Cooler oil can result in retained volatile fractions (eg fuel/water/etc) that will damage the system

When considering additional cooling you should always start from KNOWING :

• The current operating temperature
• The optimum temperature range for the oil you are using (mostly in the 95 -110 Centigrade range)

If your oil temperature is going above the optimum, additional cooling strategies may be beneficial.

What is a Kiawasaki? Is it part Kia and part Kawasaki that is use to mow down customers?
