Now you can use the car properly without the constant fear of it nuking the engine whenever you go on a drive..... I know that feeling well. The first real trip after getting this done is so much better.... post warranty expiry and until I had mine done I was reluctant to use my car for 7 months...

Good to see Ron. How was your experience with AutoTech? I'm thinking of making the Harrop switch soon.
Great to deal with,Chris did my install,very knowledgeable guy.Highly recommended.There was a couple of Mustangs in there.One was on its second engine(oil cooler failure) the other one was having a supercharger install.Cheers.Ron

Absolutely disgusting! Fixed under warranty?
Yeah. Totally. Brand new engine. Which then had the IMRC's fail 25,000kms later.... :cwl::cwl::cwl::cwl::cwl::cwl::cwl:

Mine had 21k km on it before I had the cooler fitted, no sign of trouble. Actually can't recall the last time anyone posted a failure.
There was another one recently on the S550 facebook page in QLD. But yes, the instances seem to have slowed down.

Do any of you know how a non-factory oil cooler might affect existing insurance policies?
I'm guessing most insurers would consider a third party cooler a performance modification and thus use any non-disclosed 'modification' as a loop-hole for denying a claim.
