I dont know...

"Get your fluids to maximum cool with a Perma-Cool Maxi-Cooler. This all aluminum cooler features 5/8 in. tubes and 1 1/2 in. wide Turbulator fins for more efficient cooling. This cooler even has a 10 in. electric fan for high-load applications such as towing. Every Maxi-Cool cooler is protected by Perma-Cool's limited lifetime warranty. Coolers have 3/8 in. FPT ends. Hose, fan control switch, and mounting hardware sold separately."

EDIT: took the fan off, no thermostat

does it matter if an oil cooler doesnt have tubes for flowing the oil?(like the pic has)
my cooler that i have is just a typical cooler(been flow tested with water and it works) but im wondering if it will be ok for cooling oil

I was considering getting a remote mount thermostat for the oil...and perhaps hooking a temp sensor to it, to activate the fan to turn on.

trust me...when I say i got this for a reallly good price, I mean I made off like a bandit
