The oil cooler is just a cooler...would not a MacParts generic type cooler be made to work with a few clamps and a bit of flexible hose?? This would seem to me to be much more practical than spending 300 bucks on a new MB oil cooler only to be setting yourself up for the exact same problem....or a used one with a questionable life span. However, I am not a MB purest and find my pocket the perfect place for 300 bucks! Do some Southern Engineering and get on down the road. The oil will never know that it is not running thru a gin-u-wine MB cooler.

CRUDE, BUT EFFECTIVE. Old family motto.
