   only need an oil cooler if your car gets alot of stick and your oil gets very hot, depending on the state of your engine it might just need a service.

   it doesnt get perticularly hot, just over 1/2way on temp gauge when tanking it at 100-120 down the motor way on my private estate! Is it advised for good health to fit one?? oil & filter changes are regular anyways.

   Oil change, TLC, no kicking the red every gear and it should be good. My oil is usually always around the half way line. What reg is it to do that much mileage?
