I wouldnt mess with used oil coolers, too much risk of crap in them, just buy that one 25 quid seems OK for a nice clean one.. website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk

i run a 13 row narrow cooler on my mini (1.4 16v turbo K @1.2bar) like the one pictured, after a good kicking the oil cooler is warm to the point i can touch it for a second or 2 before it burns, if i jsu tlet the car sit and idle it gets warm to the point where i cant touch it. not a very scientific test, but it clearly does the job when im on the moove. the cooler has a totally unrestricted flow of air to it aswell. i dont run a thermostat, and only had oil temperature issues on long hard high speed runs so chose an intentionally small cooler so it only really does anything whne im motoring along at a fair old pace :)
turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Do you actually need an oil cooler? Fit a gauge first off and check what your temps are like.

The thing is, Ive always had one due to living in london. during works rush hours, i tend to always get stop and start traffic, which makes the oil get very hot. as ive thrown my very old 10 row cooler away. I wanted another one but not so long, due to room, and as ill be placing a intercooler.. ill try the smaller 13row one i guess.. Cheers Shit Happen's |

Just because you have always had one doesn't mean you need one. Have you ever actually monitored the temperature? Too cold is just as bad if not worse than too hot.

You can tell ALOT from oil pressure, you will find that as the temp rises the pressure will drop, if it drops to stupidly low pressures then its a good indication that your oil is getting too hot. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

careful putting the sensor at the front t'd into the oil pressure gauge as there is no flow through there (if you dont have a turbo feed!) so its not representative of the temp.
