Oil cooler on a 583? By all means. I know several of the 620 guys found their oil temp getting a bit extreme at the high revving circuits like Snetterton, but if you set your gearing right you wont be over-reving too much and, if you're the sort of person that's changing oil after every round, then you'll probably be alright, just use a high quality oil. We got the Shell pack last year which made frequent oil changes more manageable on a very tight budget.

LoL. Very good.
Thanks for all of your responses. I think I might take the giving it a miss in the short term route to start with as some have quite rightly pointed out the first couple of rounds are not exactly in the south of spain. If I do end up needing one I will hunt around for "cheaper" alternatives.
CK - Thanks for yours and AKs time last weekend and the nice cup of tea. I would be grateful for the oil advice when you get a minute.

Thanks
