Why are you leaving the stock oil cooler on there? It is a pile of junk. If it did any good at all you wouldn't be looking into an oil cooler right now. Just remove it. You can get the parts you need for that from B.A.T. Why go through the trouble of screwing with different oil filters when you don't need to. The ONLY reason Ford fitted that cooler is because it was cheap. A remote oil filter mount seems to be alot of work to go through for an inefficent pile of a stock oil cooler. Like I said before, I have had some personal experience with cars that run really really high oil temps. Leaving the stock cooler doesn't really do squat.
