I was just going through some of my stuff for my 442 and found a can of Pro Blend oil cooler. You mix it in with the oil every few oil changes and it supposedly cools the oil up to 60 degrees. I'm sure this would be great for the MM. Anyone use this before? I'll check on the Web and see if it works with synthetic as well.

Huh? Sounds like alchemy to me. Just thinking out loud here...Heat source in an engine is combustion and friction. The oil is receiving the heat from the metal in the engine so to reduce the heat in the oil without a separate radiator, you need to limit the ability of the heat to transfer from the metal to the oil. So if it is true, this additive would actualy cause more heat buildup in the engine metal. No thanks. My vote is the real solution is an oil cooling radiator.

Pro-Blend Chemical Descriptions
ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES
8080 Engine Racing Concentrate: 7.75 oz. bottle- Reduces engine oil temperature up to 52 degrees at the bearing. Attracts engine oil to the hot metallic surfaces to increase lubrication and heat transfer. Eliminates moisture/condensation in the valve covers. Stops piston scuffing and bearing failure in Circle and Drag motors. Triples valve spring life. Significantly lowers coolant temperature in the radiator as a result. For gasoline or alcohol.

8390 TFX-9 NASCAR Engine Racing Formula: Sold by bulk in 10 oz. containers- Reduces engine oil temperatures up to 52 degrees at the bearings, and water can run up to 7-22 degrees cooler. This product was designed specifically for Winston Cup and BGN cars under all-out race conditions. Specially formulated to work best with lighter viscosity racing oils. Extreme cooling benefits, oil protection and wear prevention in high horsepower, high load engines during severe operating conditions. Significantly reduces oil foaming.

OK, this paints a different picture. Sounds more like another super lube. OIl temp reduction AT THE BEARINGS suggests less friction, less wear, longer oil life, etc. Overall oil temp reduction is not claimed as previously stated. Might even increase as it says heat transfer is increased. Give it a try and let us all know what you think.
