    I wondered about this too. I saw some in summit book and seems like there is a sandwich adapter that goes between the oil filter and where it connects. However, I wonder where you could mount one? There is tight space in the engine compartments, or at least seems to be.

      I found one company called Derale. Anybody know anything about them? They have engine, trans, and power steering oil coller kits and parts.

        Why do you want an engine oil cooler? If you're running good oil you really don't need one on our cars, the oil never gets above about 220degF for us under even harsh conditions [img]smile.gif[/img] .

        Not to mention theyre prone to leaking, are difficult to drain, and require additional oil in the system!

          I'm putting about 5000 miles a month on the car, most of it at 70+mph on the freeway. Anything that helps increase the longevity of the engine is good....I'm using Redline oil right now, so I'm going to double check with them, but I figure a cooler certainly can't hurt, especially if it doesn't cost much.

              My 95 Blazer has one stock. I'll see about tracing the lines & see where they spliced into it.

                what engine temp are you trying to reach?

                100 degrees?
                get a frggin' 160 thermo, put a $10 fan switch in (although you wont need it at 70mph)and at 70mph on a 150 degree day your engine wont see above 180 tops.

                theres got to be a peak oil temp, it cant be on the cold side, i think you guys are poking this stuff to death [img]graemlins/stickpoke.gif[/img] &lt;-------
