Everyone with oil temp issues

What's the difference in Stillen and a cheaper one? Besides the lines/hoses and hook ups! (No sarcasm intended!) That would leave the core, the filter adapter and mount. Think quality

Think quality control and one from a bad batch with poor quality getting on your car. Design, how much is the psi delta across the cooler, what's the thermal capacity? You can find that information for every Setrab made.

Filter plate - Same quality procedures. I wouldn't want a plate that was cast in someones barn with no QC. Think porous casting which cracks down the road.

Mounting kit - What do you get with the cheap kit?

Assembly - If a line blows off a fitting you are screwed. If you look at a line with the fittings installed you probably won't know if it was installed correctly or not. It goes back to the supplier/vendor doing it right. In my opinion you need to buy this type of item from someone with a history of making good parts and standing behind them.

Sometimes the least expensive route is going the more expensive route the first time.

Just some food for thought.
