Oil Cooler or no Oil Cooler?
I've read pages and pages of internet sludge regarding this topic, and it seems the arguments go both ways. I had thought it was a no brainer. Apparantely not. Several articles I read stated that in a marine environment, there is no need for such a cooler. Unless your oil is truly heating up or breaking down, is it really needed? Should I add one to my boat?
I had one on it before my latest rebuild, but the spun bearing pushed shavings everywhere. I'd be damned if I was risking a shaving still be inside the cooler. I'm getting only 25lbs now though, could this be part of the problem?
