    those aren't really that effective for cooling...

    those fins are tiny for the job
    but if you can't physically fit a traditional oil cooler, it's better than nothing... it's just not as effective

    they have the same surface area as a traditional style cooler. The fins really are no different to fins you find on standard ones except they are rolled into a circle rather than stacked..

    If it had one stock, i'd put one in for piece of mind. Can't hurt. Same reason I have an oil cooler on my car.

    best to put it in front of the radiator anyway. even a heat exchange from a FG would be better than that. when your back over here let me know and I will find something for you.
