Home depot is where all the ladies work.
That explains why its soo popular...
Good stuff!
Just another update, I ended up switching one of the mounting of the cooler so that it sits leveled to avoid any deficiency in the efficiency. Also, I removed and tighten all the fittings, and as of this weekend, NO LEAKS! Cant wait to try this out.

After researching and not being pleased with the quality of coolers that I found, I decided to reach out to Setrab USA for recommendation and assistance. I have had good success running their oil cooler for the engine oil and thought it would have been a great idea to reach out and expressed a few concerns about price and placement.
If you are NOT going to run a fan, you will need to place the cooler in an area that has good airflow, which for the SN95, will be in front of the radiator. However, that posed an issue for me because I already have a large oil cooler blocking the radiator, and adding another cooler will block more of the direct air flow to the radiator. That was not going to work for me. Marv mentioned that if I would consider running a Fanpack (which adds to cost), it will give me more flexibility in where I can mount the cooler because the fan will provide the air supply. The FP113M22I fanpack was the answer to all my problems. Not only is the Fanpack inexpensive, it is small enough to not limit my options for mounting.
The placement was chosen for one simple reason, it just made sense.
A Thermal Switch was also installed to help with the cooling of the oil. Instead of having the fan wired to a toggle switch, it will be wired to the 180*F Thermal Switch. This is convenient because I would not need to run a temperature gauge, remember to turn on the switch, or perhaps turn it on when it is not needed. The setup that Marv recommended was exactly what I needed.
The FP113M22I Fanpack was introduced to use for DSG transmissions, high-performance street differentials, UTV engine oil cooling, and Formula Drift power steering applications.
What is the advantage of running this pack?
It is very small, however, it is extremely high performing. Because of its size and self-contained air supply you can mount it almost anywhere.
Why is this an advantage?
Because without a self-contained air supply, you will have to mount it in an area with good airflow, which usually means blocking the radiator. However, with a fan blowing 148CFM (at 0 static pressure), you can mount the cooler wherever you have space! And trust me, this Fanpack can fit in a lot of places!

- The area was easy to install,
- Having the cooler in an easy access area will make it better for maintenance,
- It would not interfere with rotating parts,
- The location is in a moderate to high pressure area of the front of the vehicle,
- High pressure area will provide ample air flow to the cooler if you make a ducting opening, AND
- Because it is directly behind the bumper, you will only need a short duct hose, or none at all.
