REFLECTOR: Oil cooler (FG)

[Grover McNair]

After much research I decided on the positech oil cooler also. The two pass
design works very well.

My Velocity is too different to help with comparison. However: 

 

I have not had very good luck with the airflow style of coolers. I had one
in my 180 and 235, and had constand weeps, leaks, high temps, etc. (even
after "repaired/Refurbished").

 

I switched to this style:

Have not had a single problem since in almost 1000 hrs. Temps are better, no
leaks, etc. 

 

Might help in the V as well.

Hi All
I'm thinking of replacing my oil cooler (FG) with a bigger one to get my oil

temps down during hot Texas days.
I dont have room in the whine compartment for a 2nd.
So my question is who makes the most efficient oil cooler or are they all
about 
the same?
I was looking to replace mine with a 2008x airflow.
Running an io360 200hp
 
Thanks for the thoughts
