Obviously, a 3.0-liter SC motor is gonna want an external oil cooler, but what about a 2.4E or S? Will an on-case cooler do the job, or is it iffy?

Also, who is using the right inner fender for the cooler spot on a /6? What size engine are you running and what temperature extremes have you seen?

Thanks!

No ex coolers in the 2.7Ls (165 hp)and look what happened to them.

what happened to them was thermal reactors (lots of additional heat) and 5-bladed fans that reduced the effectiveness of the on-block cooler, so it's hard to get a good apples-to-apples picture...
