I'm gonna be honest with you Dee, just listen to what I tell you. You absolutely do not need an oil cooler in this area unless you track your car. Even with 100 degree heat and heavy traffic, my temps never reached the point where an oil cooler was necessary. The only time I got close outside of the track was the one cruise we did in the summer when it was like 100 degrees. Even then, I shifted up 1 gear and was ok in a couple mins. An oil cooler for you would be a complete waste of money.



Marlon Wayans?
Not All Z's are the same. Mine would hit 240° just cruising along at 70 miles per hour in weather over 85°. ANY spirited driving would easily drive it to 250°.

With the oil cooler I can still make mine hit 240° pretty easily... 260° now takes some work... I am probably going to vent my fenderwell this summer.
