Default oil cooler for my impreza uk 2000 gc8

hi all i'm after an oil cooler kit for my impreza as i noticed high temps whilest putting its through its paces last year, and i intend do so more so this year with a lot of track time and such like so i feel the need for a oil cooler, where is good place to get one or does any one have one for sale, not looking to spend loads either.. just something that will do the job in hand.

cheers all

Loads of places sell them - RCM, lateral, etc etc. Mocal or setrab websites give local dealership details. RCM aren't cheap but have a look on their site and you can see the full kit in the photo attached to the item.

You'll need a thermostatic sandwich plate which just screws on where the oil filter goes and the oil filter then screws back on on top of that, some heatproof hosing and a decent sized cooler. i have a 19m row mounted vertically between my FMIC and radiator , next to my AC heat exchanger so you basically can't see it but it works very well.

Often come up on here, but you'd want to be sure that nothing has gone wrong in the engine they were attached to

good advice there!

this may sound thick but when you do and oil change surely you need more oil when you have a cooler fitted and also when you want to drop the oil do you have to undo the cooler to drain it?

i also wondered this but im guessin aslong as u mount the cooler higher than the filter/drain plug gravity will do its thing. although i will prob take it all off and drain it all as im nit picky with things like that and your correct they do hold more oil than normal but not a major amount.
