93568, Exhaust wrap to downpipe to before cat to preheat heating of oil pan...
Posted by jsupetran, Oct-03-05 04:42 PM
Kinda dumb question but is it okay to wrap some thermal heat wrap on the bottom of the car near the oil pan? I threw away my old exhaust heatshields regretably :( about two years ago... I am just concerned about the oil getting on the exhuast wrap causing a fire...
Soooo tell me if this is a bad idea.
Thanks!

Well i have wrapped my DP all the way to the cat to try to reduce heat. I do not have any external oil leaks, but oil is not as flamable as some of the other items running around in the engine bay, so I would not think it would be too much of an issue. Short answer do it but fix your oil leak while you are under there...

Actually I don't have an oil leak. I was just putting up a theoretical scenario.
