B&M, Mocal, and Greddy.....and the expenive ones come with a thermostat that activates at 180F. In my opinion a thermostat is an absolute must so you won't over cool your engine oil.

how cool can it really get. I can't imagine it being too much cooler than when you just start your car. From what my gauge says normal operating temperature on most is 190-220°. I can't see the cooler taking that much below 150° which isn't cold enough to harm anything i don't think. The only thing wrong that i would see is maybe the viscosity changes but i'm sure 150 is warm enough for proper lubrication. Any ideas? Not saying I know just stating opinion.

JR oil cooler, not installed yet.

My friend has a JR on his 97 Prelude and his oil temps have dropped about 35 degrees to about 160 F after installing his.
