Sounds like it's worth trying to me Paul.
'best system ' ? Quite a claim. ..........perhaps 'adequately good'
is more apt.
I installed tencentlife's ( Chris Corkin ) kit on a Vanagon ..
about a 500 dollar kit with hoses, shrouding, the cooler unit itself,
thermostat, and temp-triggered booster fan ..
quite deluxe.
I'd ssay that kit is 'one of the best' .
at $ 132 I'd try one though.

Cross-path airflow effectively cools oil as air passes through as many as 16 paths across sturdy embossed plates. Insignificant pressure drop, twice the cooling in half the size. Painted black for fast heat dissipation. Fitted with 1/2 inch female pipe thread fittings. The best system for your Bus or Vanagon.

>> Paul, you didn't provide a link. Is this an external oil cooler, or is it a repair/replacement for the small factory oil cooler? I have a ten cent life external oil cooler that has been quite effective at keeping the oil temperature down and the pressure up when driving long runs at high ambient temperatures. mcneely
