Jagg or Baker - Harley Forum

If you wanted to reduce oil temp which would do a better job. The Jagg 10 row cooler or a Baker Plus 1 oil pan (would run with 5 qts).

Any thoughts????

Both are good choices but approach the issue in different ways.

Hi Od

I am a believer in Oil Coolers rather than Volume..

When I ran the full 5.5+ qts. my Alum. oil bag holds my oil retained more heat..
Putting in only 4 qts. reduced my oil temp & made it easier for my oil coolers to keep it down..

Lil side-note..
Over the years, on the hottest days we've ridden our standard daily 50 mile errand/commute (116*), our oil temps stay under 185*..
That's with Coolers..

Have a ball

Going with the Jagg.10 row horizontal mount on the 09 RKC...

Thanks...

You might want to look into the thermastat as well. My cooler only flows thru when it reaches a certain temp. when its cold, it bypasses the cooler to warm up the engine and also run better when its cold out.

Yes, going with a thermostat thats built into the offset adapter.

Try this with your oil cooler.

Installed a Jagg on my '07 Softail. Lowers temps by 10 degrees plus.

Also try a GOOD syn., oil like Amsoil MCV 20W50 as it will help to keep oil temps down on it's own and with a oil cooler work even better.

Bill I started to be a smart a$$ and say "You live in SoCal, it don't get cold there" But I came through your town going to Hemet back several years ago on Easter weekend and the ground was covered in that white stuff I see on the news but don't experience anymore

The snow went about half way down Lambs Canyon. I live in AZ and I have a thermostat on mine

Take care
