What do You think of a wider doghouse oil cooler..

You have to widen the doghouse part in the fan shroud..

would have been easier to widen the outer bit I would have thought...

its identical to factory doghouse oil cooler but has two extra set of fins..

available at chircostore.com

Oh that is why they are calling it a factory oil cooler...

and I see Joel, You actually add the extra on the outside of the fan shroud not inside the shroud...

some of Us are slow learners... lol
