My friend helped me install a 25row Setrab oil cooler today (2009 with 1500 miles). We used Setrab oil cooler with a Mocal 180F thermostat sandwich adapter with AN10 lines. Before I say anything, let me start by saying the parts involved are expensive. I honestly don't know why I spent nearly $700, I should have bought the Nissan Motorsports unit instead!

Anyway here are some data.

Before oil cooler 80F
Cruising temp (190-210) 6 gear 75mph
Oil temp after 1st 2nd 3rd redline (210-230)
Idle (190-200)

Post oil cooler 80F
Cruising temp (175-185) 6 gear 75mph
Oil temp after 1st 2nd 3rd redline (195-200)
Idle (175-185)

I expect the temp to come down even more after I put my splash shield back on after my oil change. Other than the ridiculous amount of time and money spent on this thing, let's just say it is worth it if you plan to run the car hard.
