    its a piece of crap. you will see no performance increase. you see ricey increase. thats it. whoever buys ones just wastes their money. I'd rather spend the money to get a oil filter relocation kit so i can do oil changes more easily. hehehe

    I'm doing some research on these to see if they are actually beneficial.

    You never see the oil filter other then when you change it. Or maybe someone you run over might see it for a split second. :D

    I don't know about that, but for other reachable areas, gold foil can be used too. Cools parts by continuous deflections.

    Or you can add Royal Purple coolant treatment to your radiator. Water cooled is still more efficient than any heat sink.

    I did more research... not getting it now. Reviews say no temperature drops and no available size for the 4967. It's another waste of money. It looked promising though. It would work if it was a small source of heat such as an chip, but circulating oil is just too much for a simple heat sink to handle.

    Unless you track your car, go for an oil cooler and a tranny fluid cooler.

    Add those fin thingy under the oil pan, it will cool the oil much more better than on the oil filter. but it will make the oil too cool so that you need to buy thinner oil, lol. :D :D :D
