how can this cool the oil

It slides over the oil filter; it has fins, or technically, heat sinks. It works because the additional surface area allows more opportunity for heat to release; especially with the air flow across that surface. Works the same way your voltage regulator is cooled - via heat sinks (fins) & air flow across it. The heat in the oil transfers to the filter body & then to this cooler. Very simple & very effective.

This product helps to dissipate the heat at the oil filter, but with it being a Harley and being air cooled, its works better as the bike is moving,

Larger surface area to disperse heat like the fins on the cylinders, not the same as oil cooler but every little bit helps and it looks cool too.

It is finned like the motor. The cooler covers the oil filter. The oil flows through the oil filter which is hot. The cooler acts like a heat sink, pulling heat out into the fins. It works , just dont expect miracles, but every little bit helps.

This alloy sleeve with cooling fins, slides on to oil filter, fits snugly. It does have some cooling effect, although not a lot. It is part of an overall cooling solution. Used in conjunction with ignition module tuned correctly for better cooling, not so lean. Synthetic oil is a must for the hot running HD's

I dont think so. but why you need to cool the engine oil? Engine oil is made to handle extreme heat. Just change the oil regularly, then you will be fine. On a side note, this Mishimoto cooler is designed for FLUID, not OIL, so I dont think it will work, since fluid and oil are different in many ways.

i got this product for my own vehicle, and i have on a 15 toggle switch and just flip it to on and it kick on and cool my oil temps about 10-20 degrees, but it turn on based on how you set up the electrical component

mine shuts on and off all the time. I think it is to keep from overheating although it is ultrasonic and does not use heat. It is probably getting sticky from all the oil and probably needs cleaning.

Easy...the aluminum pot inside the Cool Daddy easily pulls out for your convenience to dispose of the oil, and then once washed place the aluminum pot back in the Cool Daddy for your next use. It just lifts right out.

oil in your primary case is for cooling only ..... this is to thick and wont disperse heat well

Wait until oil cools,Then get a plastic funnel and pour back into the oil container that the oil came in,cleaning the used oil at the same time.

Add a few drops of oil prior each use to the air inlet or install an automatic oiler to your system

It goes into the radiator, not the crankcase. It won't have any effect on the oil. It actually seals the coolant from the engine, so it doesn't mix with the oil

Yes, it heats the oil at a very low temp. The only thing that gets hot is the silver plate in which the oil sits in.

Basic logic behind the gadget is to coat food with thin layer of oil containing skin, or add minimal amount of oil inside food. That way, there will be very little oil evaporation during heating. Judging from my experiments, unless you have a good reason to minimize oil intake or to avoid oil fume, I do not recommend. One problem is the temperature setting is too low. This may be necessery to minimize the evaporation of oil. However, for some recipe it does work. Since I have not tested all recipe, it all depending on your intention.

Quite frankly, I don't know. When I fry I move everything outdoors. I don't like the lingering odors. I would imagine the heat from the oil would transmit pretty well to the exterior surface since there is not much space between the oil resevoir and the exterior housing.

Yes that is normal! When the temperature drops or it gets cooler the oil will solidify on its own. If it doesn't solidify; perhaps you live in a warmer area/season, it is still okay. You can pop it in the fridge if you'd like but then it's a little bit harder to scoop out.

Yes it can, but be careful leaving the plastic head above the hot oil for prolonged periods of time. I just put mine in and out.

No.Warn motor oil moves much faster than cool oil so I would think it would have to be hot.

it gets plenty hot, but the problem is cleaning. EVERYTHING sticks. Even after using oil or spray non stick oil.

Run the engine for a bit, or do it after a drive. It pumps much quicker and easier when the oil is hot.
