    Hd oil coolers are good fit well. Several options on the market. Just be sure the adapter has a thermostat

    If you search the web you'll find SEVERAL options. I prefer the HD models as their fitment is clean and precise.

    agree with above........unless you have good mechanical skills. i installed one from an auto parts store, along with oil temp and pressure. you cant tell it is "home made".....and functions well..........
