76 mini oil cooler??
Believe it or not engine oil are design to work at specific temp of 212 F (100 C). It is NOT a good thing for the oil to be too cool all the time. The viscosity becomes slightly thinner at operating temp allowing the oil to get into smaller joints, etc.





The oil coolers are only recommended if your engine temp often rise above normal.

If you are worried about your oil, just go with Synthetic. Slightly over kill for street engine (non-turbo).








Good Luck...
