Engine Oil Coller

Engine Oil Cooler
Just a thought. My RX7 used to have 2 engine oil coolers but a rotary engine does use oil for lubrication and as a method to cool the engine. Do you think there would be any benefit on a Ranger? I'm thinking the engine would take a lot longer to warm up. What are your thoughts on this?

The 5.0 Explorer engine has a factory oil-to-coolant heat exchanger similar to the one Rich described above, probably to satisfy trailer tow test requirements. I doubt that my truck really needs it though.

I just realized I spelled cooler as coller. LOL
