With the larger capacity & surface area has anyone seen lower oil temps with the canton pan.

interested as well,.......which is why mine isnt on yet

 

The Canton pan has larger capacity but I don't think it has a larger surface area - the OEM pan has fins on it to aid cooling

 

Good point I am trying to decide between an oil pan or Mishimoto oil cooler.

 

the purpose of the pan isn't to increase cooling, its to reduce starvation

 

Cooling could be a 2nd benefit.

 

sure but if you want cooling buy an oil cooler. if you want to avoid oil starvation buy a baffled pan.

 

Going from the oem pan to a canton pan I saw something like 20-30F higher oil temps at the track and higher oil temps on the street.

The OEM pan helps considerably w/ oil cooling. If you track your car regularly it's probably a good idea to run an oil cooler w/ the canton pan.

 

Glad I asked I can't handle another 20-30 degF. I'am at 260-265F after a 30 minute session. Some earlier posts mentioned some cooling with canton. Looks like oil cooler it is for me.

 

use a quality synthetic oil and 290-300 isn't a problem
