The Mocal cooler is high end. You can't go wrong with that.
Clendaniel has one of the niciest setups I've seen. It's not braided line or anything, but he set it up with a remote filter and everything bolted to the front cross member. I wonder if I can find his pictures and steal them for this thread.

That last one was based on a B&M cooler. This one is a real Mocal cooler. It's from BDBs' car from Ottawa. The silver metal hose holder thing is a the oil filter and thermostat which is a good idea to have.

What does having that extra length of hose do to oil pressure? That has always been one of my main concerns with setups like that.

Re: anyone using an oil cooler? (apexii)
my pressure sender for the oil pressure guage is tapped into the bottom of the filter housing....I didn't notice any change in pressure, it's still over the spec given in the helms manual. The biggest difference is in oil capacity, with the motor totally empty it took a hair over 8qts...takes a tad over 6 on a regular change.

Damn I want an oil cooler. Mocal setup would be sweet. Don't have enough cash saved up for it yet though. $500 for an oil cooler setup seems worth it to me for turbo preludes. Did you install that yourself Clendaniel (I may have asked you this before)?

Greddy makes one for the 5th gen? Is the Jackson Racing oil cooler any good? They have a kit for the 5th gen.
