Exclamation don't go "cheap"

my car has always had the oem GT front cooler - it runs 180* in 100* California heat - with the current 3.2, and same with prior 2.7

you need to install an oil thermostat like the 911's use when you add a front cooler - ( i have new one FS - $120 gets it)

don't go "cheap" and use a junkyard mazda or mercedes cooler setup - guys i have talked to who run those are seeing 220* on hot days - which is danger territory - especially on multi-grade oils

if you want to relocate the stock engine cooler (dumb idea imho) - do a web-search on what the 3.6 upgrade guys have to go thru cuz the 3.6 has no engine cooler
