Oil cooling advice needed

[subheatadey]

Seasons greetings, I am going to fit a oil cooler with electric fan and I am after advice. I would like to fit it in the space under the leisure battery tray if possible as that seems the ideal space to fit one - my bus has full set of belly pans, so I was wondering if there is a cooler with fan that would be small enough to fit in that space original idea was to just fit a fram oil filter in there? Engine is a 1776 so maybe I don't need one - I have no experience as yet of what temperatures it is going to run at yet - so maybe it may be best to run it and monitor the temperatures to see if i need one.
I am sure in the colder months it may not be required it is probably the summer months when the temperatures climb?

I'd run it first.

Cheers, I know where you are coming from but being a impulsive tit I have just ordered a 19 row cooler with a 5.5 inch Suction fan and thermostat sandwich plate - more money - ****! :character0051: It maybe overkill but I don't want to take any chance with running 15-40 mineral oil, I want to avoid any issues as I pay off my credit card I nailed in buying it :confused0068:

Happy New year :alc: arty0003: arty0002:

I'd fit it!

My 1776cc cruised about 5 to 10 mph faster for the same temp level and still at a sensible RPM.
