My entire point was that you can go spend a hundred, or a few hundred bucks on somebody's generic "pretty" oil kit that simply isn't needed on the vast majority of the setups on this site. The stock cooler combined with some other small, cooler is going to be more than enough in any non lextreme situation. There simply is no need to go spend hundreds on such a thing unless you have some underlying reason to do it.
It's like hearing someone say, "oh you better use Aluminum charge piping, or only stainless steel to build that exhaust manifold". ahhhhhhhh the humanity.
Yall do realize that not everyone that would participate in this has, nor wants to spend some ungodly amount of money to do something.
There is nothing wrong with good used parts. That's why they're
good, used parts...
(I bet you're also the same type people that every time someone asks why XXX service costs so much at a Lexus dealer. Then I (or someone else) breaks down the actual part & labor costs that explain exactly why it's way more than half the time bullshit. You get offended & have something like, "Oh but it's only XXX the amount of the cost of the car", or "Oh it's only YYY % of a yearly maintenance cost" type of crap to say.)

I don't see yall bitching about people buying 150-200,000 mile 1uz-fe's for $500-900 on ebay & swapping them into something now do I? No... You applaud them.
"Oh but that's different, a 1uz-fe could last a million miles, it could last forever".
And the oil cooler would still last 10x longer than the motor if you pressure test it when you pick it, clean it & blow it out.
It'd be one thing if if I just said go out & buy some oil cooler with a frickin' crack in it that came off a motor that's siezed up from oil sludging, or a turbocharger off an engine that pukes smoke with chunks missing out of the compressor & bearings so bad simply handling it makes the shaft fly all about.
The only way some of yall would apparently understand this point of view is to give you the exact same type of attitude in return.
Answer this question:
Why do
YOU people want to modify what nearly the entire brand name can only be described of as no-performance Toyota
LAND BARGES; instead of buying real performance car with real performance potential in the first place...
Let me answer it for you
Because you can.
Give me a break.
I'm so dead serious. One of the things that sets this forum apart from the other Lexi sites is that the people on here that seriously do good work are not snooty about what they do, or try to convey they're in some "special class" on top of the world with setups that try reflect that.
If you can afford a pimp ass setup that's great! - but don't shoot down something perfectly fine for other people just because it's not as spiffy, doesn't cost as much, or doesn't look as good.
