It's rare I see something this non-useful and ill-informed on this otherwise fine forum. This thread is about a 16-year-old car being run on alternative fuel. The repair quote is a substantial percentage of the car's value overall. You really think that having an oil cooler without your precious three-pointed star stamped in the metal is going to affect this vehicle's resale value?!? Asinine.

Looking at your sig... We'll talk to you in 3-4 years, when your two new cars aren't carrying a warranty anymore and are worth less than half than their original sticker prices. Your feelings may change.

Cheers, John
