you can clean it with gasoline etc. then run a hose through it. but you might never get all the metal shavings out(if thats your issue(it was mine)).

the dealership should be able to get a new stock one to you for $486 i believe. thats what it would have cost me before my NTEC discount was applied.

You don't need a stinking oil cooler. Esp with a built motor. JP

I'd get an aftermarket one too

Punch the part number into Mitsubishiparts.net Usually much less than the dealership.

Greddy has an oil cooler that is fairly inexpensive, for an aftermarket system.

Here are some details:

GREDDY 13 ROW OIL COOLER KIT: LANCER EVO 03-06
Part Number: TP-12034607

Details:
Greddy/GREX Oil Cooper Kits help prolong the life of your oil and in turn your internal engine components. Hard driving causes higher engine temperatures. Factory oil coolers are normally small water-cooled devices sandwiched between the oil filter and engine block. These tax the cooling system even uner normal driving conditions. Greddy/GREX oil coolers are an excellent addition, and are especially effective in harsh driving environments. By Using a similar inner-fin core design as their famous intercooler, they are able to increase oil capacity, decrease oil temparatures, and extend engine and oil life. Greddy systems also offer an internal (or external) thermostat to allow for quick engine warm up. The efficient core and durable steel-braided lines ensure good flow and a leak free installation.



The current price is around $600.00
