For Starters: I am NOT talking about replacing the existing oil pump on my XS with an electric oil pump.

Well, not yet...

I recently got my hands on a new power steering cooler that is adequate to use as an oil cooler.

Secondly, I'm considering a much deeper oil sump.

Now what if, instead of plumbing my oil cooler to the existing, factory oil pump I were to install 2 fittings, two oil lines, and an electric oil pump NEAR, not on, the bottom of the deeper sump?

I think I might want to add some sort of temperature controlled switch to shut down the electric oil pump when the oil is cold.

Your thoughts? I recently shelled out for a HHB Permanent Magnet Alternator CCI system so I think it should pull it.

Any suggestions on what kinds, types, sizes, brands... of pumps and controls I might want to use?

I'm wondering if a low pressure electric fuel pump like used on small engines might work.

Secondary, independent electric pump and cooler?
Maybe with its own bypass filter?

Centrifugal vane and brushless motor.
Powerful and tiny DC brushless motors available at RC shops.
Temperature-controlled bypass valves out there.
Cheap solvent tank pumps out there.
The centrifugal vane will bog down when the oil is cold, rev up when hot.
Kinda self-regulating...

Thanks for the tips.

So it has been a couple of years but it just popped back in my head, and I was wondering what you think of this https://www.amazon.com/Diesels-Univ...acher+Heaters+For+Truck&qid=1642809527&sr=8-2
