In testing, CSF observed temperatures over 275°F (135°C) on the track, and it was clear the FL5 needed a solution. The engineering team set out to develop CSF's first ever complete engine oil cooler kit, and the results speak for themselves.

However, the FL5 does not have great airflow in that area.

While mounting an additional cooler behind the grill would be the easy choice, that just adds more heat to the rest of the cooling system. The optimal placement for the coolers was in the sides of the bumper outside of having no direct airflow. While technically some air does flow to this area as it leaks around the intercooler, it is not enough for significant cooling performance.
