Default Oil coolers

I dont see a lot on here about oil coolers. Does any one run them? Would anyone be interested in them if I started carrying them on the web site www.speedpartsrus.com? Let me know what you think. Almost all stock turbo cars come with them. It would be a good safety add on for your engine.

a lot of people do, but they are cheaply and easily had because tons of cars run them stock.

If I gave a ---- about my motor I would run one. My motor has not proven itself worthy enough for parts like oil coolers.

for the d series enthusiast, its worth noting that the d15b6 a.k.a. HF engine comes with an oil cooler that will fit on any other d series, which do not come with the cooler..

Are you talking about the metal thing between the filter and the block? I was thinking more along the lines of an external core, like a small radiator.

Great idea, i think you should carry it with a thermostat option. Most people dont realize that the oil is optimized for a temp range and that it wont lubricate effectively below that temp (the oil cooler without thermostat will cause more wear).

Yeah I started looking into this but then with things like the thermostat you are adding more parts (that can fail).

Would your coolers come with a user changeable or specified temperature thermo valve?
