Oil Cooler

[falky929]

just wondering if any one has got a oil cooler on there engine is it worth it does it make lots of differance.

For a car that goes to the track even just once a year, or if you're able to get your oil temp over 100c on the street.. then yes it is worth it.

They don't cost much. get one! id recommend getting a powersteering fluid cooler too as they are really cheap!

Its definitely a good idea if your going to track the car.

Piece your own together from quality parts. Some of the off the shelf cheap kits, although come with everything tend to have leaky fittings without thread tape. Not really ideal for an oil system.

It works out pretty cheap making your own.

I just did my own cooler setup as follows

Mocal 13row core with -10AN fittings

Mocal oil cooler adaptor sandwich plate

Aeroquip fittings 2x straight 1x 90' and 1x 180'

Approx 8 feet of braided line to be on the safe side.

Aeroquip and Mocal both say stay away from thread tape with their fittings. So i do what they say.

All up it cost me around the $300USD mark. So its pretty close to the cheap china kits, but proven, guaranteed quality.

Power steering cooler would be the absolute last thing i would do, and then only if i had money that i wanted to throw away.
