A power steering cooler is too small to be used as an oil cooler. Don't use it. If you want an oil cooler, do it right with a 13-19row Mocal or Setrab cooler and -10 lines.

its never bad to have one. If its for a street car, get the oil temp. thermostat to be sure that your oil wont be too cold.

I have one myself and personnaly its a must...
