what's the best engine oil cooler for you?

Most of the kits are essentially the same too, the stillen and gtm onesreally only differ in the plates. I got the gtm HD oil cooler over the stillen because of the thermostatic plate versus the pressure plateas i'm in a cooler climate and have more of a concern for cold startups. also the ball and spring valve in the stillen plate has been known to be noisy. it's just an oil cooler so there really is no need for the fancy and super expensive japenese kits, and i wouldn't even consider the over priced dealer kit unless they decide to warranty it down the road. the larger cooler should only be used on dedicated track cars or if you live somewhere REALLY warm.
