Mishimoto Oil Cooler kit
Been looking to install an oil cooler kit of some sort before I hit the track. Saw this, looks to be a relatively new kit. Curious if anyone has used it or knows someone who has? I'm curious how well a sandwich plate style oil cooler will work while still retaining the stock oil cooling system as well. Put this in this forum because you guys seem the most knowledgable on oil temps.

it appears to be a well made kit with quality hardware. I haven't personally seen a car with that oil cooler but I bet it will work well. The sandwich plate at the oil filter is an easy way to attach the cooler.

I'm considering it for my next upgrade. Here's a post about it on the forum:

I have one on order and I'm hoping to get it installed before my next track day on August 7th. My oil temps have been higher at the track since I cammed my car so this seemed like a logical next step. I haven't decided where I am mounting it yet since my grill has very little real estate left thanks to the ADM trans cooler, brake ducts and CAI scoop. I'm thinking of moving the trans cooler and putting them side-by-side.

Ah yes. The Ontario club. Thanks for the note. I'm trying to watch the forum for feedback but it looks to be a really good setup and would think it should help. It seems that almost every track day we run its 90+* out and I have to do something about the temps.
