I just finished my front oil cooler install. Wow, what an amazing difference. Normally on a day like today, 85+ degrees, the drive that I just did would result in an oil temp of just over 250+. That, is bad. But today, I had to drop it into 4th, nearly redline it on a 3 mile long steep hill, get it to about 95 mph just to get it to 210.

Was it cheap? No. All said and done it was about $550.

Is that cheaper than a new motor? You betcha.

So, to those pondering installing an oil cooler, I highly recommend it. After reading some on the subject, I wasn't really expecting that great of an improvement. I am convinced that the key to the success was to put the cooler in the front of the car, where it can get the fresh air. I figured that is where Porsche put them in their racing 914s, so that is where mine should be.
