Engine Oil Cooler for 2013 Ram 1500

Question:

2013 ram 1500 tradesman reg. Cab , 4x4, 5.7. I have cold air intake, shorty headers, flow master 50 and removed the clutch fan and went with elect.fan. Im thinking about installing a 190 thermostat, because my temp. For coolant is 203 - 210, oil 201 - 210, transmission 196 - 200. Do I need the d15405 oil cooler?

It would be a good idea for you to use the Derale Plate-Fin Engine Oil Cooler Kit # D15405 and a 190 thermostat won't necessarily be needed with this because the Cooler Kit should reduce those temperatures enough. The Derale # D15405 is a plate and fin cooler, making it highly efficient because it consistently works to agitate the fluids. The can reduce your oil temp by up to 50 degrees and comes with a complete mounting kit to go in your '13 Ram 1500.
