I've gone through two now and have spent $200 trying to have them fixed and having fitting welded on and they still leak.

I need something new.

Does anyone make one that's roughly the same size/shape?

and don't say MAZDA.

I've had bad experiences with oil-coolers that are not Mazda made. They tend to be cheaply made and some of them just clogged really easily and basically in essences gives problems. Now, I admit I only tried one other brand outside Mazda which would be the Auto-zone brand one despite those being made for Fords...

Yeah, I'm pretty open to idea's but it needs to atleast be the same quality as the stock unit.

I had the same problem with my stock oil cooler. I just got a Fluidyne. So far so good. I haven't been able to measure temps properly but my oil filter and lines feel cooler to the touch. Best part is no leaks

Here's the thread where I found the info

Here's a few pics of my setup. Only one side of my undertray is attached. It sits flush when everything is bolted in place. The brackets were easy to make with a measuring tape, vice, scrap aluminum and a couple of welds.
