Replace Oil Cooler
I'm thinking I need to replace my oil cooler, but I was looking at Mazdatrix's site and they've got them listed for $600. Has anyone used a different aftermarket oil cooler in a 89-91 N/T? If so, I'd really appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks in advance

Yea get a used one, or get yours cleaned and repaired. I've looked at a few aftermarket ones and their largest was still not as big as the stock mazda one. I was thinking of joing two of their largest, but I wasn't sure of how that would effect oil pressure, having the oil run through all those tubes...

mmmm, unless the fluid is heated uop enough to open the thermostat and the fluid is flushed thru, all you have accomplished is having a bunch of loose crud to immediately flow thru the oil lines as soon as the t-stat(oil) opens
Do yourself a favor and have a certified FAA Oil Cooler Repair facility flush it
