Deluga, my understanding was you wanted to know did you "need" an motor oil cooler on a "st." driven car. the answer is "no" you don't, but "if" one is there it wouldn't hurt to hook it up. to me it looks bad, its in the way, it may leak, and i wouldn't have one on my hot rod. i've run oil temp. gauges on most all of my st. cars and getting the oil temp. up is more of a problem than cooling it off. you could have had 2 oil coolers on you motor and it would have did the samething. if you water temp. is good then the oil temp is good, but you're not gonna cool you your motor with a oil cooler. i dont think GM has ever put a oil cooler on any car that i know of from the factory.


Do a poll and ask everybody "Do you run motor oil coolers on your hot rod, yes or no and lets see what everybody else does.
