hi just wndrin if i put a oil cooler on my mini wud i get mre performance!!!!!! tanx

[irlmin]

No , an oil cooler is just that , it cools the oil and is really only necessary on very high performance engines , use a decent oil and it will be fine , if its an early car use Duckhams 20/50 oil and if its an injection car use a decent 15/40 .do NOT use synthethic or semi synthetic oils on a classic mini .and by the way we don't use 'text speak ' here .
