my '80' 240d parts car shows no sign of ever being a euro car, MB tex, bumpers, etc but it does not have an oil cooler and the records show it was purchased new in Seattle. This would be the only one I have ever heard of that was a US car not equipped with an oil cooler. Of course someone like me could have changed it but the oil filter housing does not have fittings, coulda changed that too, I guess. I gotta admit, I like the euro best except for the seats, cant beat that MB Tex, hopping into the euro with work cloths on doesn't get it.
