Default Oil cooler replacement ?

The OEM oil cooler is leaking enough to replace. I currently have a RUF aux cooler and need some advise. Should I go with OEM replacement or something else that will reduce oil temps better than the OEM?

Use an OEM cooler. There are other good ones but nothing fits as well in that specific space.

Hi Al:

Since I am a parts supplier as well, I'm not in a position to make specific recommendation for parts & components.

Do your homework and remember, there are no long deals on OEM stuff anymore since Porsche changed their shipping policies and many so-called "OEM replacement" parts are made in the Far East and not the same quality. Its forced me to be extra careful about where I source things from.
