just like the title says, i was wondering if anyone is using an aftermarket radiator style oil coole ron thier honda acura.

maybe someone can come up with a nice short little parts list to create EL home-made-o oil cooler deal, pics would be nice as well

 

I advise against this, as dirty oil can build up into a sludge in the cooler, and ultimately restrict the flow of oil, as well as dirty up the clean oil.... Its also just a great place for dirty oil to sit, so when you do an oil change, you just mix that dirty oil with the new oil....

Its up to you tho man, just lookin out....

 

but keep in mind, when you change your oil, dirty oil remains in the cooler, unless you completely remove the cooler.....

 

true, unless you put a drain valve on the cooler...........ha got ya kris

 

well if u do u can use a stock auto radiator that has the tranny oil cooler on it. but that if u want to, i did it for turbo and didnt have no problem, but they r right boutr the dirt. it can build up after a while. but thats ur choice

 

i had a Rx7 i think it was or supra oil cooler on mine when i first built my b16 a while ago when i put ac in the car it was a front mounted oil cooler like a tiny innercooler it worked very well took a extra 2Qts of oil had it on there 6months when took off it was clean as day i put it on never thought about it lowering pressure but it most have with my many feet of hose but never hurt anything if you need it you can have it i dont have the hoses or fittings anymore tho

 

I used 'em on lots o Hondas...but those were all of the two wheeled persuasion. I've thought about this mod for my Si....now I'll think about it more.
