Inexpensive Oil Coolers - worth it?
So... how are these so inexpensive? What's the problem with them (if any)?

I would be worried as those are running critical engine oil out of the engine and back. I would use quality stuff such as Setrab or Mocal with Aeroquip lines. Currently I'm running the '14 Forester XT Turbo oil cooler setup. It looks clean and can be had for about $300.

I use such oil coolers, nothing wrong with them. Actually, what can be wrong with a full metal make thing. Only things you should worry about are inlet and outlet treads, cause oil hoses should be tightened well. that's it)
