Oil coolers price range
I know you get what you pay for, I'm just curious what other factors there are besides material and craftsmanship. For example, there's a Moshimoto universal (I guess that's already a red flag) at $200 - $300 http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/300626415694?lpid=82 all the way to Greddy's around $1000.
I would spend around $300 - $400 for spirited driving and autocross, but more than that seem exuberant.

You can do what @CARNZ did and installed the Forester XT oil cooler on our cars.

For spirited driving and autocross, you really don't need an oil cooler...
Just saying. -alex |

I really think if you are planning this out, to not jump to a conclusion about oil temps and do some research. 237F oil temps aren't hot at all... -alex |

We have one car with an oil cooler, and one without one.... one is forced induction and one is not....
 Both see extended periods on track.Also stay away from universal and ebay... they will only cause headaches. |
