My oil pressure was raised , when the car is completely warm, to around 25-30 lb at idle, before the installation my oil pressure was around 15 lb.So, I assume that the oil have more viscosity produced by the reduced temp.

Is this some sort of kit or did you part it together yourself? I have the Stillen kit and it is very nice with its Setrab cooler.

I don't have an APS kit, so no issues there. The Stillen kit is top quality with a much better cooler than that Ebay piece. Not sure what you mean by "it will not fit with the APS TT."

I did see the pics, before buy any kit, of the Stillen installation instrucction, and if you see the pics, won´t fit with the aps oil pan , and the oil radiator won´t fit in this position, or even in your position , because the air filters are in there.............

did you were mine was installed? do you see it being installed in the same position where the instructions say?, ovbiously is you are an "automaton" and you can't think outside of what the intructions say it will not fit.
doesn't take a lot of custom work to make it happen

Easy to talk when a shop did it for you Any other person (especially if they plan on doing it themselves) will look for something that will surely fit without any hassle....so you kind of have to look at the instructions first. Not everyone likes to modify or has the ability too. The OP never posted anything negative about the stillen oil cooler..just that it simply would not fit for his needs

i was there when it was done.. they jsut looked at it and decided where it would fit... the main work was gettin those brackets to make it fit...

the whole point was to say that it does fit...and no major work was needed to make it work

Especially if you live in a country at more than 10.000 miles of distance , and you can not return , because the shipping cost, will be much more than the oil cooler cost.............

I agree with Quiksilver. If you don't have a brain than nothing will fit unless it is perfectly built OEM. The Stillen would fit and work if you had wanted it to. Saying it doesn't fit tells people that it will not work at all. I have the Stillen and didn't install it where the manual said cause I have a Vortech and the FMIC is in the way. I made it work.
