It's a good idea if you are doing alot of racing, or have installed a 20B. But for the most part, it's not necessary on a street car as our oil coolers are quite good. If you do this, put the 2nd cooler in parallel to the first, not series. That way, you minimize pressure drop and maximize the cooling effect of both coolers.

a little short fat radiator, your 2 oil cooler lines from your motor go there.

If you look in the grill, in front of the radiator and A/C you can see it.

It is a radiator. An oil radiator in fact. Some of ours say "Calsonic radiator" or "Nihon Radiator" right on them in fact.
