Thanks for the input.
The oil I am using atm is 15w 40. As for the oil cooler layout check out my pic.
I know its a bit sad.

I can only assume there is a problem with the oil flow. The front cooler gets warm on one side. Does it return??? The adapter plate has a standard vw golf filter could this be an issue. This has done my head in for a long time and is the main reason I dont drive it.
Cheers again

just a thought, it may be an idea to bypass the front cooler and run with the fan assisted cooler ,if there is a restriction you will require alot more pressure to go all the way to the front of the car and back , see how this works as you will not require the front cooler at this time of year anyway

What Oil Cooler?

I may be late on this on but I just wanted to know what the best way to run an external is oil cooler. I am thinking a 600mm from the front. Should I keep the stock cooler too, or run an adapter from the stock area? I have an external oil filter now taped into the case at this point. Should I run one of those sandwich adapters from my oil filter? Do I need a thermostat? I live in the Seattle and the car is 1303 with 1914cc. :shrug:
