The fan just makes the oil (or is at least supposd to!) make the oil cooler, no real power gains, but it can help the longevity of your engine - same goes for a larger oil cooler.

ok, just want to get one thing strait Im looking to cool oil not gain power. In my search Iv found heat exchangers and some nice air to oil coolers with or with out fans. I dont think I need something extrem as a heat exchanger but a little more than stock would be nice. Fluidyne makes some pretty good stuff from what I seen but alot of $ so has anyone got a better bang for the buck deal?

Thanks man but I think Im going to make my own, all the kits out there now are just to much $ for oil coolers.
Now that I know our engines are cooled 40% by oil Ill be sure to get those oil temps as low as possible.
