Well, I don't see why a oil cooler collar wouldn't remove some heat. It acts as a heat sink, and even if there is little air flow over it, there will still be a lower temp reading. This type of device is used on transistors all the time. It helps dissipate heat.

Now, if there is air flow over it, no doubt it will work better. Now, if someone wants to invent a better mouse trap, try this.

As you know, coleman came out with a 12v cooler which would heat or cool depending on which way the current was flowing. The device used if the voltage was applied in one direction would cool, and if the voltage was applied in the other direction it would heat. Now, I see they are using this device on computer chips.

Why not invent a oil cooler using this device. If there was enough surface area i'm sure it would do a great job of cooling the oil.

As far as the oil cooler collar goes, if you buy one and install it, it's going to have some effect and if you could direct air over it, it will have more of an effect on cooling the oil.
