OIL COOLER, 7 Row Drawn Cup

[skywarrior03]

Is getting an OIL COOLER worth it ?
What are the added benefits?

I think more specifics are required. What is the engine and airplane? Do you have an oil overheating problem?

O300D. No overheating problem.

Lots of discussion about oil coolers and the O-300/C145 engines, especially on the Cessna 170 sites. Seems originally designed without, but some folks in warmer climates were have concerns about oil temps bumping the redline (or getting to close for comfort). Those who did a HP increase needed a cooler.

Are you north or south?

Have you checked the accuracy of your oil temp system?

I have. Just to be clear the AP made the recommendation but not having any issues. And most importantly wanted to know if it was worthy it. All in he quoted me a $1000.
