stock oil cooler

is the stck oil cooler really the best thing that you can run? I would thing that a unit that had more iol compasity would make for better cooling, but it could be wrong? what the hell?

How so?

How so? In terms of fit? Efficiency? Price?

It seems to me that many of the fins on my stock oil cooler were bent to a near useless state within the first 30K miles.

I changed to dual 19 row Mocal coolers, which have maintained their integregty must better than the stock offering, over the past 40K miles, including two high speed cross country drives.

I dislike the setup of my coolers, because i had to run the lines from the bottom of the cooler. This is not an ideal setup, but the stock coolers also have their outlets at the bottom of the cooler and not at the top, where I would prefer them to be.

Hmm.. The one thing i didn't ask before posting that - was - for which car?! I think one can do better than stock for the [3].

That's what I get for being up past my bed time.
