ok, I have a 94 Saturn SL1. The 1.9L LLO and LKO engines have the oil filter mounted in the dumbest place(above frame pieces) and when pulling the filter oil gets everywhere.
First, do remote oil coolers make any significant improvement in the temperature of the engine or the life of the oil in it?
Second, Is there any negative effect to relocating the oil filter to a different location and replacing it with a much larger one?
I would imagine that even if the bigger filter didn't make an improvement in the engint that just having more oil in the system would make a decent improvement in the wear of the engine. I'm interested in the cooler because I found a kit with the filter relocation and oil cooling and I'd like to get it.
