[koryto2012]

I'm lookin at gettin an oil cooler for my 97 eclipse rs. Does anybody know how to install it? If you have any pics, those will help.

You really dont need an oil cooler for the 420a. But if your really set on getting one. Look for a factory auto trans cooler. It fits in the driver side with three bolts. so it just bolts up.

Well you need a way to feed the oil to the cooler. Most vehicles without oil coolers tend to use something called a sandwich plate. It fits between your oil filter and oil filter housing unit. This allows for a redirection of oil before or after the filter to be sent to a remote cooler.

This in combination with those oil coolers will allow you to have an aftermarket oil cooling system.

But as 97gst_spyder said, you dont really need one for the 420a.

While you don't need one an oil cooler certainly is not going to hurt. I have been looking into this recently too and from what I can tell the best bang for buck is gonna be this one.....IMO
