The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Has anyone put a true oil cooler on a PCX 150 or have you seen any photos of one on the scooter.

Someone will come on and tell you that you don't need one.

I think the first problem would be from where to tap off the oil to circulate through the cooler. Easy on a Honda Wave as there is a plate on the cylinder head where the oil feeds the camshaft. If you can solve the where from puzzle then...

You don't need one - people have done 10,000's on their PCX's and some have done major journeys across countries and racked up a huge amount of miles and had no issues. I would be more worried about dust in the air filter on long journeys and dusty roads / environments than anything else.
Check the oil, every now and then check and replace the air filter if it looks clogged up, enjoy
The more people mess with the scoot, the more can go wrong.

unless you are crossing the Sahara you don't need one. But get one because you like the look, or you like mods, but don't think you need one. I have plenty of mods for this very reason: I wanted it.

But It always brings up the question, why would you need one if Honda did not think it necessary? They do put them on some of their other bikes, so they are not anti-oil cooler.

Are these perhaps fitted on >125/150 - just larger CC bikes that get hotter and have more power?

The only stock bikes that have them are ones that are a combination of air and oil cooled, water cooled bikes don't have them.
