Derale Stacked-Plate Engine Oil Cooler Kit w/ Sandwich Adapter (Multiple Threads) - Class III
Installed the Derale engine oil cooler today. Excellent kit installed without any problems. Parts were very complete. I am pleased with the proiduct.
I bought this engine oil cooler so I could pull my 21 foot boat with my 2016 Ford Explorer. I am very pleased with how it works. It was easy to install even with having to remove the bumper cover so I could attach it to the front of the radiator. I would buy another one if I ever needed to. I would also buy from etrailer again, they have great prices and products.

Derale Plate-Fin Engine Oil Cooler Kit w/ Adjustable Sandwich Adapter (Multiple Threads) - Class V
I put this in my 1981 Chevy C10. Toughest part was finding an oil filter that worked with the adapter but I did find one that worked just fine. I was concerned that my oil would be getting hot and I want to make my engine last a good long while so this was just a must. I can say after a long drive the oil entering the cooler is barely warm and the oil on exit is a little cooler than air temperature. This works perfectly and was not a problem to mount!
The oil cooler works great, but you will need to order more hose because the amount given is not enough, you cannot find it at ANY auto parts store so order it the first time

Derale Tube-Fin Engine Oil Cooler Kit w/ Spin-On Adapter (Multiple Threads) - Class III
Recieved item on time, great quality.
To start I gave the product a good rating only because the kit put together by Derale came with the wrong barb fittings. I called Derale directly and they sent out the right fittings. I have not installed the kit yet but it is well made in the USA. If the kit would of came with the proper barb fitting definitely would of got a excellent rating.

I purchased this kit 1 year ago for an 08 Toyota Highlander V6 Sport. The vehicle had a small (and I mean small) trans cooler already installed with the sport, but adding this additional cooler gives us the piece of mind an confidence that when either towing or evening just sitting in temps up to 116F at the drive through in SoCal during summer hours, my family will stay cool. The fans run less and the whole vehicle runs a bit cooler as well. I have verified this with 3rd party OBD readers, actively watching oil temps both at normal operating temps, hill climbs, towing, and when sitting in extreme heat. IT DOESNT BUDGE! I dont have enough good things to say about this cooler. If youve ever thought about it, you should do it. Very easy to install and it flat out works.
Installed this product on my 2013 Ram 5.7 Hemi. Install was simple and straight forward. I hoped there would be improvements in the operating temperature of my engine oil, which there was. Now towing my trailer is no worry about engine oil temp. This cooler works exactly as advertised, and the temp never go above 220. An unexpected result was better gas mileage by almost 2 additional miles per gallon. Also the truck runs much quieter than before and smoother. This noticed by my wife who rides with me always. So I would defiantly call this a win win install and purchase.
This upgrade to my Ram has paid for itself after one year of use by extending the oil life thus reducing oil change interval

Derale Atomic-Cool Remote Engine Oil Cooler Kit w/ Fan - Class V
This is a good cooler however on a 4 wheel drive avalanche it's a challenge to get it installed in a position that will work with all of that equipment under there. I pinched the oring a little bit and it's leaking very slightly. On the next oil change I'll replace the oring, other than that this cooler works great.
Oil cooler works great, Only thing that I have an issue with is I can not use my stock oil filter with it. I have a 1992 Chevy K3500 with a 454 tonawanda 7.4 liter. In the instructions it is telling me to use a filter that is for a 350 or a 5.6 liter. But I was told by Derale that I should have no issues at all.

Derale Plate-Fin Engine Oil Cooler Kit w/ Spin-On Adapter (3/4-16 Threads) - Class V
2009 GMC Yukon XL towing a 7,800lb travel trailer from California to South Carolina..... I don't believe the Yukon would have made this journey if it wasn't for the oil cooler and additional -to the stock- transmission cooler. Dragging the travel trailer through the mountains during the heat of the summer was taxing. However, my engine temp barely went past the 12 o'clock position and transition never got above 190 F. Before installing these my engine temp would go to the 1-2 o'clock position and transmission temp would get up to 210 F. Highly recommend this product. Just make sure you have a filter that fits the adapter before installing. Just take the adapter to the auto parts store and find one that spins on it.

Happy to find a system with the adapter. Mounted to my 4runner very easily. Not much confidence in the plastic mounting method will make something else.
No issues or problems, works great. Engine temperature gauge never goes over half way when towing my 2000lb pop up camper.
