Hayden Automotive 526 Remote Transmission Oil Cooler Kit Review

Firstly, the TruTrans supplier has always delivered quickly and packaged fairly well. I bought my first Hayden 526 oil cooler in March 2019 for an engine dyno. I started using it in October. I've had less than 30 hours with oil below 180F and 40-55psi according to my gauges. Originally cooled 10W30 oil but had to use heavier 20W50 oil. So I had to disconnect the hoses and completely drain my test system and install a bypass valve while everything was disassembled. I cut the tubing into spiked…
