The F6 oil cooler is readily available, the actual unit lists for $126.00, but you will also need to purchase new water lines, as the F6 jobbie is water cooled.

You will also need to purchase a new oil filter, as the ol AFL1 will no longer fit!

I will be getting HPF to fit a F6 oil cooler to my XR6 in early September.

F'n ell, that's cheap sounds like a good solution...does one need the VIN?

Im not getting involved with that, I have been slammed too many times for saying one thing, and a member goes to a dealership and they are told something else. Then I am made look like a d1ckhead. No thanks.

Cheer up mate...could be worse, you could wake up one morning and find you are Ross.

Or worse, wake up next to Ross.....

So do you think the water cooled oil cooler will make much difference? I would assume that the water cooling the motor already effectively cools the oil anyway without an additional cooler? Would this way be more efficient?

I guess Ford must have done a bit of research into it all. Maybe they use this method because of the lack of space for an air oil cooler up front. I guess anything helps.

The water lines, cooler unit , adapter etc - are they all in worth less than $200 then? You dont happen to have any part numbers do you?

I THINK it would be better......Ford don't make a habit of bolting bit's on for no reason, for the cost, I'd give it a go!

Just wanted to dig this one up again - is there any progress on this front?

Anyone else got oil-coolers? (with intercoolers and trans coolers)???

If so where are you mounting them for good air flow?? There is not a hell of a lot of room up there after all the other goodies are fitted!!
