So here is a great visual showing what I mean that water and oil temps influence each other. It's not really summer here yet in the North East but this session was 85* and you can clearly see oil and water temps following the same trend.
The rumor was alibaba chinese rotors and possibly fake brembo calipers. However most of the photos I have seen look like legit calipers. Rotors are harder to see visually.
Ain't nobody seeing a small Element mounted to a cusco bar when the interior is filled with smoke. Plus a "bystander" should be getting the driver out first and not leaning over the driver awkwardly grabbing for an extinguisher in the back of the car.
I understand putting extinguishers on roll...
I have an element in the glove box of all my cars. Much easier to reach than something behind the seat.
Ideally I would have it mounted right under the front of my seat in the Supra but I haven't got there yet.
Also, in reality, an Element should only be something that could help slow a fire...
The oil cooler actually works very well for being a non-radiator type. It's on the block under the filter. Big silver block. If you notice in my logs above it's basically not much difference in oil temps with 20*F more ambient. I need to log later this summer when it's actually hot and humid.
I don't think you even know what you are posting or even hearing yourself.
Your question had more about oil consumption than anything else. You also LITERALLY asked: "...if its normal to use that much oil within 1.6k miles of driving."
