O-200D oil cooler

[MIKE]

Looking for any information anyone may have on installation of an oil cooler on an O-200D Light weight. Talked to folks at Steve's Aircraft, who could not have been more helpful, but who said their cooler won't work on the light weight Continental. Temps are over 300 degrees on climb out on initial flight, so a cooler is a must. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I went through the same problem. This is my oil cooler installation.

thanks - i had seen your installation before (which looks great). I talked to Continental - with the Lightweight engine, which has the oil filter off the rear of the engine, they said we need to install their oil filter adapter, which is installed in the location where your filter is. Hoses then go to remote oil cooler in much the same way you have yours set up.
