Default installing oil cooler need advice...

HI guys

I was thinking of using this small cooler in front of radiator to cool the oil down at the track
we are not seeing much heat here in Iceland but the oil can get very hot after wot runs in my car...



it´s 12" X 9" 6 row and inlet and outlet is 1/2" -8an

my adapter whith thermostad is the same size after i install a fitting

is it to small cooler and will there be to much restriction will it drop the pressure

i´m runnig ported ls6 oil pump and i´m the oil pressure is 50-60 psi when cold 40-45 psi when cruising around
and at idel when hot it goes down to 20-25psi

what do you guys think

thanks

Should be alright, however, before you install it, make sure you check the capacity of The cooler and lines and compensate accordingly.
