I'm sure you'll get alot of "I use this one and it's the **** man" haha. Sooo I'll start off.....

I use a Earl's (the fittings company) oil cooler. It's on a daily driver and have had no issues or complaints with it. They sell them is a ton of different sizes so they'll have one for whatever setup you will be running.

Summit also has the Earl's oil coolers which have the same core as Setrab oil coolers. I have used both and they are good.

oil coolers are not always a good thing...oil needs to be hot to lubricate correctly so alot of people run coolers with a thermostat switched fan.

On the other hand if the oil gets to hot it breaks down.

another downside of the oil cooler is you loose oil pressure and put more stress on the oil pump. id reccomend gettinga tempature gauge and seeing how hot its getting before adding an aftermarket cooler
