Definitely add one if you're going to be tracking the car (which you are)

otherwise....dont

Not worth the dosh on a every day driver ( and can hinder performance in certain situations ive been told - due to oil temp etc)

I found this:

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...ght=oil+cooler

But I think its already been sold.

I just did a search (forgot where I read it) and one option is the Greddy.

Anyway.....good reading here

Some coolers have a sandwitch plate that will only open up at a certain temprature

ala thermoswitch - good idea to get one if you get the cooler

US boys usually cover oil coolers in plastic or cardboard during normal driving or the colder months to cover the cooling fins and retain the normal operating oil tempreture.

I've just ordered an Trust oil cooler (10 row) for my DC5. HK$3500, it is made for DC2 but the guy said it is no problem for DC5, so you can just this one too. The kit comes with all the bits and of course it includes the thermoswitch sandwish plate. I track my car last Saturday, my oil temp went up to 138, I think it's a bit high.

Sure is

I've heard of a few DC2Rs overheating. They're not meant (in stock form) for a lot of laps around the track.

I posted this in another thread and have not had an answere so :Well Im looking to buy a cooler as well, but should I buy 19 Row Oil cooler or 13 row?? I found some on E bay and was wondering if there the right type of cooler??
Would I be better off getting a brand name cooler or are they all the same and just do the same job??
