dorman sells a similar oil cooler that adapts to the oil filter
this thread has some useful info
one question that always comes up, is the ideal, size and length of the fluid transmission lines required,
too feed and return hot oil from remote mounted oil coolers and transmission fluid coolers, the simple answer, visit a local professional hydraulic supply shop after taking careful measurements and verifying the type of fittings, thread types used etc.
I would strongly suggest you select, and ask too have fabricated,
(after taking careful measurements and verifying the connection fitting type and threads etc.) high temp ,high pressure ,lines, AN#8-1/2" lines designed to handle 250F temps and 350 PSI. MINIMUM
but before you spend cash that might be better spent else ware on an oil cooler it would be smart to verify your engines oil temps
(and trans fluid temps) an oil or trans fluid cooler is a great idea for most performance engines as is a 7-8 quart baffled oil pan,
but on some cars its not needed.(accurate gauges help here)
keep in mind most performance cars with an auto transmission and a higher rpm stall converter, will need an auxiliary trans fluid cooler, Id strongly suggest you find one with an electric fan and 1/2" or AN#8 line size as you'll want to allow a minimum of 2 -3 gallons a minute trans fluid flow rate.
engine oil coolers , TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLERS and remote mounted engine oil coolers with remote filters, also benefit from use of a MINIMUM of a AN#8/1/2" inside diameter fluid transmission line .
Up to 250 GPH =4.2 GPM= 1/2" or -08 AN
nearly ideal for transmission and oil coolers
*
Up to 450 GPH =7.5 GPM= 5/8" or -10 AN
*
Up to 900 GPH = 15GPM 3/4"or -12 AN
keep in mind oil does almost all the initial engine cooling so adding a larger efficient oil cooler with a fan
, and as large an oil pan as clearances allow goes a long way toward reducing engine temps,
you certainly will see a difference if a properly sized and installed oil cooler is used.
you don,t need something this large in most cases

something like this makes a noticeable improvement

I recently had a friend ask if adding a trans fluid cooler like this might be a good idea?
$571 seems rather over priced

while the heat sink style pictured above, $182 seems far more reasonable
certainly may help, reduce trans fluid or oil temps,
it has far less ability to rapidly and constantly transfer excess heat out of the fluid ,to the outside air flow,
than something like the fan equipped radiator style fluid coolers linked below

remember to accurately measure the area you intend to install any oil cooler,
and leave lots of room for the connecting high pressure oil feed & return lines and access to connect them.
your main issue as is almost universally the case is finding a place to mount the fluid cooler that allows air flow and reasonably easy access,
don,t forget the trans fluid or engine oil lines and fittings will need access and room for the lines,
ID strongly suggest AN#8 or 1/2" line size and a cooler with a powered fan
Ive used this several times, but its not going to easily fit most cars, so step one is finding and measuring a location to mount it
