if you are now referring the valve manual switch valve( i have ordered on to see it myself will take pics).
i was told ( i cannot confirm ) that the fluid ( antifreeze) shuts off at the elbow and re directs it to the heater core.
if that is the case, you would take a bit longer to warm up your engine oil. viscosity of antifreeze would warm up faster then oil.
even though you have one line open to oil cooler it would eventually warm up but you need flow/bypass to heat up the oil cooler.
if you listen to the video you shared it says it RE DIRECTS FLOW!!!!
refer to your post #58

Are you just arguing schematics because I do not have time for that. i am here just to shed some light on heaters.
inferno heat the fastest and they claim to have one of the hottest heaters out there. I agree. i would have no problem buying a Inferno heater. i would just use a Barb T thats all.

that is 100% thank you
With this being the case, and I'm not a cooling system expert here, but I don't see the inferno system contributing to any overheating of the engine or issues with the oil cooler. The connection happens on the return, after the oil cooler, then dumps directly back to the main radiator. Additionally, if the heater were on, you're going to be moving heat from one location (heater core) to another (the cab) - law of thermodynamics applies here - so the coolant being dumped back into the main radiator from the heater core probably isn't really all that "hot."
Anyways...seems to be a non-issue. But in any case, this is a great discussion and very helpful.
It does not shut off the flow to the oil cooler. You adamantly claimed it did. The supply line to the oil cooler is still intact. The tee redirects flow FROM the oil cooler TO the heater core. When the valve is switched it flows back TO the water pump. Watch the way he explains it with his hands representing the direction of flow.
Yes the oil temp will take a short time longer to warm up. It will not cause engine failure, you admit.
I will argue schematics, but not semantics.
OMG!!! man do you listen to yourself?? the valve is a 2 way valve that i am understanding ( have one on order to confirm)
IF THAT IS THE CASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you are getting all the flow to heater core and rad. you will have one line that attaches to the oil cooler with wit slowly getting warm AS THERE IS NO FLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You simply argue over what?? i explained the FACT of the matter is if the 2 way valve is a way valve. that means it has to shut off flow from one direction. it is not a 3 way valve Correct?????
Trying to help and you Seem to turn this into a battle.
here is a great way to clarify with science. lay your garden hose out on a hot day at the end of the day filled with water, then turn on the water with the end plugged.
wait a hour or so. when you open the end the water will still be vary warm, that is because there is now flow to dissipate the heat. same way the oil cooler will work.
thank you BIll Nye

Fivestar confirmed what I was trying to convey.
You're getting very emotional about this. You started out with stating that this system deprives the oil cooler of coolant, and that it will destroy your engine. I wanted you to prove that. Either statement. You conceded that it probably won't blow up your engine. However you will not accept the fact that it does not in fact stop the flow of coolant to the oil cooler. In addition to that, no I have no heater in my machine. That was discussed earlier in this thread. I'm trying to keep the information here factual. You even stated "I was told". That is not proving a fact. This was a good informative thread till you started spouting misinformation about a heater brand that many many forum users have. I won't respond to anymore of your threads. Or you can just block me. Either way.

it is all good my man. i see where you are coming from. i am not going to block anyone not that kinda dude.
just a exhausting thread. I have said what i had to say as you. im good no hard feelings on my side, I ride canadian swamp mud and trails mostly, dont care to ride in -35 weather

Same diagram you posted minutes the text. The text explains it all. Follow the arrows of coolant flow. I'm done. I will not respond further.
I'm keeping an open mind here, not choosing sides. In either position of the valve, flow to heater core or diverted to bypass the heater core, coolant flows through the oil cooler. So there is proper coolant flow to warm the oil in the winter time and to cool the oil in the summer time. Looking at the coolant flow diagram and really tracing coolant flow will show that the oil cooler will indeed have flow through it in either valve position.
I chose and installed the Inferno in my '19 G2, but before I pulled the trigger, I studied this very issue and proved out that flow as indicated in the diagram. But I have no skin in this as I also have a fleet of 6 2020 Northstar Rangers with OEM heaters on the job site that are used nonstop daily winter and summer.
Here is my take on the OEM heater verses the Inferno. The Inferno puts out heat much sooner. It will heat the air coming out the vents to within 20 degrees of coolant temperature as indicated on the dash gauge. The Polaris heater, on the other hand seems to take much longer to put out any heat through the ducts until the engine temp is up around 180 degrees and the thermostat opens. Then the heater pumps out great heat.
As a side note, on high the Polaris heater seems to blow much more volume of air through the vents than the Inferno does.
FWIW, I think it would be a mistake to delete this thread, as there is a lot of good info discussed here.
