I'm adding an oil cooler to my 82 camper.  Would you suggest an extra
oil pump, this oil cooler has a fan any suggestions on were to install
it?
--------------------------
I added one last year using a sandwich adapter between the oil filter
and filter mount.  I ran lines to the radiator type cooler which I
mounted in the rear wheel well above the transmission.  The cool thing
about this one is it has a fan that is themostatically controlled to
come on at 220 degrees and go off at 200.  (it is adjustable where it
comes on.)


I can always remove it from circulation by removing the adapter plate.
The only thing I would like to make better would be to add a valve that
turns flow to the cooler off and on based on temp.  The setup I have
takes longer to warm up completely.  I love it even in the heat of the
desert summer.


Cost was about $250 (US) all done.
