Engine Oil Cooler Size

Hello guys, im looking for an Engine Oil Cooler. I looked at the Aftermarket ones and they told me that i can get an Universal one with different sizes.
They gave me different choices to choose from :
12' Wide
17' Wide
24' Wide
What size does stock ones have on?
Thanks

Oh no, here we go again...

What are you trying to do?
Are you going to track the car?

The stock unit is one of the biggest oil coolers in the industry to be mounted on a mass produced passenger vehicle.

It's like two feet by 6 inches by 3 inches thick.

as RETed said Above they are the biggest oil coolers used on a Passenger car. You don't have to listen to me but I'd listen to RETed when it comes to things like this.

Now I don't know about YOU, but MY research has shown me that MAZDA competition cars have relocated the oil cooler parallel to the ground with the proper ducting to improve airflow. (Mazda 1980's competition manuals)

I would do a lil more research before I go waste money on parts that could possibly kill your car.

You can also look at mounting a second oil cooler on your system.

What HP are you planning on pushing?
what temperatures have you SEEN that warrant an oil cooler replacement? Why did the temps go up?
What are your mods so far?
what about future mods?
