Does somebody has replaced his oil cooler on his mazdaspeed protege ? Maybe a full setup or just change the oil cooler core for a Mishimoto one.

I looking fore pictures of different setup and there result.

Thanks

have you actually logged oil temps that would call for a aftermarket oil cooler yet? do you plan on running lap after lap at the track?

for a street car it just seems like extra weight. plenty of people running sweets setups with no oil temp problems just using the stock heat exchanger on the oil filter housing.

id be more concerned with oil pressure and the oil pan design. might want to look into those 2 issues first if you have not already.

Yes, I'm concerned about the pressure and the oil pan, but I'm interested in the oem setup, where it is ? how it's work ? his efficiency ?

it is the piece that the oil filter screws into on the MSP. It has cooling lines running to it to help equalize the temperatures of the oil/coolant.

I do not know of anyone with a protege other than actual track cars (not driven on the street) that have actually needed an oil cooler.
