In an 8000lb SUV with a rated towing capacity of 7400lbs? No apples to apples comparison by any means.Just give it up already. Like I said my engine came with a cooler from the factory so it’s not going to hurt.
Yes the motor oil must reach 180 degrees to boil out moisture to prevent gunk and acid buildup in the crankcase. However, most oil cooler adaptors that sandwich in the oil filter mount have built in bypass T stants to allow oil warmup.
180f won't be enough, boiling point of water is 212f, and why oil is rated at 212f. By all means put a cooler in but if you have low oil pressure a viscosity change is a better approach.Yes the motor oil must reach 180 degrees to boil out moisture to prevent gunk and acid buildup in the crankcase.

3 #10 machine screw washers will convert your stock pump. Drop the pan and stick them in the relief valve.Thanks gents for all of your input. I’ll take it into consideration. I should’ve put a high volume oil pump on this engine before I installed it. I’m not going to pull it now.
Just one correction. More oil pressure does not = less oil flow. Automotive oil pumps are positive displacement pumps. Pumps do not pump pressure. They move a volume of oil. Pressure is a result of restriction to flow.
In the GEN 3 LS you can raise the oil pressure by running the AC Delco PF48e. The 6.2 actually came with a High Volume oil pump from the factory (according to the internet "High volume (1.25 c.i. per rev. @ 33 psi)"). You can get a Melling HIGH PRESSURE pump for the Gen 3 to cure low oil pressure (unsure if it fits Gen4s).I don’t know what my actual oil temp is and I am not concerned about hitting the ideal OE oil temperature If it’s 200F. Early L92’s were known for low oil pressure and mine is no exception when hot. At cold start up the oil pressure starts very high but when running on a hot summer day it will drop to about 20 psi at idle. This engine has only 45K on the clock. Since my engine had an oil cooler from the factory it will be just fine.
