oil cooler supplier

[k wright]

Who should I source the oil cooler from? The factory offering has a very well thought out arrangement, mounting tabs attached to a side bracket and the inlet and outlet on one side. Anyone using a thermostat?

Jeff I plan on mounting it as you have done on your car.

Thanks,

I am using an oil stat and remote filter. You can see pictures under 'Engine bay' on my site.

Ken,
The Mocal dealer I have found is www.batinc.net/main.htm . Also found Earl's has what looks like an identical cooler -see www.earlsindy.com/earls/ .

Great help, what size should I get?

I think most cars are fitted with 25 row x 235mm wide Mocal oil filters. Mine certainly is.

If you can I'd definitely go with the setup Steve_D has with the external oil filter (allows much bigger filter and way easier to change) and the oilstat. I wished I'd thought it through a bit more before plonking down the cash for the std sandwich plate and oilstat.

You and me both.

I have the same size cooler.

I used a Long Mfg Cooler, they are aluminum heat exchanger type. Available in different sizes from JC Whitney.com. Biggest one is about $70.
B&M also sells them under their name as well as many other big name companies.
