Good price for Stillen Oil Cooler?

Joker_J · 10-12-2015, 05:58 AM

Was wondering if $330 is a good price for a 25-row oil cooler with the thermostatic plate...

I don't care for the Stillen oil cooler kits. The main reason is you can't use a factory Nissan oil filter. Look at Z1 or FI for a kit. You will want a Mocal thermostatic plate to keep oil temp up in the winter.

Stillen is a lower quality kit than either of the above. Don't be cheap and do it right the first time.

Also, spring for the 34-row cooler. You can never have enough cooling for this car.

I see... but doesn't the 14 models already have a decent oil cooler? I don't really push the car, but when I do, it gets up to 210. I'm wondering cause i'll be getting the oil cooler kit for a good price and I only drive the car on weekends..i'll take a look into the other kits as well too lol

Get the FI kit. It will have everything you need to remove the factory oil heater/cooler. That's what I did.

Plus, you get the aircraft grade Teflon inserted braided lines with crimped fittings. They last a long long time.
