I was wondering if anyone has any experiences of using an oil cooler. Here is a link to information about cooling oil, trans fluid and fuel: oil cooler

I guess you can also cool the rear axle fluid! Anyone ever done that?

 I'm using a B&M Engine Oil Cooler. 1/2" Lines in and out. I'f mounting it in front of the Radiator it must be thin enough for the Hood to Clear when Open. ( if you have AC)  Mine touch's. Coolers are used on all the endurance C5R and C6R for Oil, Trans and Rear Axels.

i installed a transaxle oil cooler on my Porsche 928 racer... otherwise it's difficult shifting when things get hot .....of course also a engine oil cooler.
don't know why you should need them on a daily Vette...only perhaps in very hot climates ... i run meetings-rallys with the vette ,and never had heating issues... without extra cooling .... ambient temp bout 15 to 20 degrees C Wink execption are days of 25 °C.. sunshine becomes very rarely here.. rain so more ...
