Looking for a new oil cooler?

[Brap_Brap]

I was actually looking for rx-7 parts on ebay when I stumbled across this. It appears to be the identical cooler to the one in my wedge. $48US. That's only about 25 quid to you guys in the UK... quite a deal.

I'm not convinced that the 390SE needs one if its just a road car... Mines got one, but I might get rid of it. I know of a tuned 5.0 sprint car that doesnt have a cooler, and the oil temperature is never a problem.

That said, as long as the oilstat is working correctly, it certainly wont hurt.

It would certainly make filter changes a little less messy.
Assuming you remove the remote filter adaptor and screw the filter
directly on. Cleaner looking engine bay too.

What thermostat? - My 390 came as standard without a thermostat on the oil cooler, that probably explains why the dissy drive wheels wore prematurely Ithe dissy drives the oil pump).

I fitted a thermostat soon after that incident.
