Review on πŸ”₯ Derale 51610 Cooler Kit - 16 Row Core Stacked Plate, Black (SEO-Optimized) by Randy Bin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great cooler at a reasonable price

I use one of these for the engine oil cooler on my 1984 Mustang GT Street/HPDE. The fit and finish are excellent and the sandwich panel design is extremely efficient at cooling and offers very little drag. My oil is connected to the entire -10AN teflon line, with a cooler in the line after the canister filter is fitted. Although I didn't have an oil temp gauge, I can tell the coolant temp has improved greatly and rarely creeps. now much higher than the thermostat temperature. The most notable change was the temperature of the valve covers, which up until then had been too hot to even think about touching after the engine was running strong. They're still hot now, but not to the point where you almost need a skin graft after touching them. I did a lot of research beforehand and came to the conclusion that the size/price/style ratio was the best for my application. I don't regret my decision at all and can only recommend it.

Pros
  • Radiator and accessories
