My wonder with the oil cooler kit from Kohler is can you increase the hose length between the plate and radiator so you could locate it somewhere else without adversely affecting oil flow/pressure? I'd rather have it up front or even located somewhere under the tunnel cover with an electric fan blowing across it than mounted on the shroud. The reason being is where is that additional hot air going to blow to? Back in the engine compartment so that almost seems counterproductive. Just my
for what it's worth. Either way, I like the idea of adding an oil cooler. Just gotta get someone to measure some engine temps over a few weeks then install the kit and compare before and after to see if it actually makes a difference.
