[s-cars] Oil Cooler options...

[Richard Hoffman]

If anyone's looking for a "monster" solution, I've had excellent results 
using the FB RX7 oil coolers.  They are dual-pass, about 20x3x7 and have a 
built in thermostat at 180ºF.  Of course I'm pretty sure that the Audi oil 
cooler/filter bracket assemblies are thermostatic as well.

There's a ton of options out there ranging from $500 to $6.50, and they all 
do about the same thing.

Good luck
Richard
