i have a 76 mini clubman with 998 engine and was wondering if installing an oil cooler was worth it. they are not exactly expensive or hard to install just wondering if there would be many benefits cheers76 mini oil cooler??
Believe it or not engine oil are design to work at specific temp of 212 F (100 C). It is NOT a good thing for the oil to be too cool all the time. The viscosity becomes slightly thinner at operating temp allowing the oil to get into smaller joints, etc.
The oil coolers are only recommended if your engine temp often rise above normal.

If you are worried about your oil, just go with Synthetic. Slightly over kill for street engine (non-turbo).
Good Luck...76 mini oil cooler??
Not really necessary as the oil pan is the trans case which is finned and heavy alloy
