Oil Cooler

It looks like an Oil Cooler kit like this would be pretty easy to install, and might be pretty effective.

The Sandwich Style Kit has the Oil Filter in the Stock Location.

450HP Sandwich Kit is P/N 40189

Summit Racing sells them: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...006+4294888847

Not bad for $170...Whats your opinions? Is it necessary?

We don't have standard screw-on oil filters, so this oil cooler would not work. Most Benz oil filters are on top of the engine and only the filter element gets replaced.

I've never experienced an over-hot oil problem; and if you're using the recommended quality oil, it will be able to withstand standard operating temperatures.
