M@tt 77 Posted June 20, 2008 standard mi16 doesn't run one instead it has a water heat excanger set up instead. If you did want to fit one to fit one you you'd need to swap sandwhich plate behind the oil filter for a suitable one and get something like a mocal after market cooler and pipes. tbh i never found the oil temp on my mi16 getting very hot at all. Only really need one if you've got a dedicated track car and giving it some beans constantly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turbloide2 0 Posted June 20, 2008 At present there is no sandwhich behind the oil filter.. Is this ok ? I have found a mocal plate to buy is there any oil coolers of other cars that will fit to make it cheeper ? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted June 21, 2008 You can't get much cheaper than not needing one. Its fine without an oil cooler, if you only use it for road driving then it doesn't need one. With an alloy sump it doesn't even need one for trackdays either imo. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
