Have you found that you need it?
I have a passive Setrab cooler behind the pass side rear axle and I've not seen oil temps go over about 205.
How are your temps on the 2.3 with the front mount oil cooler?

Zach I haven’t seen my oil temps get above 180, just took the car on a road-trip to steamboat springs and back oil temp stayed the same whole trip.

Oh my....are you sure you need it. Those temps may not be hot enough to dissipate out moisture. A thermistor bypass?

installed for over 15 years with no water issues what so ever
