When changing the oil filter, I didn't notice a sandwhich cooler there. Was a factory oil cooler offered? I have a tranny cooler in front of the radiator and a power steering cooler below the rad. Seems like if the package came with an aux tranny cooler, then they would put on an oil cooler too.
 






Thats the power steering cooler. How about that, learn something new everyday! I always thought that that was the oil cooler.
 






I don't think that they offer a factory oil cooler. The power steering cooler (2nd gen) is standard. The aux trans cooler in front of the radiator is optional.

If you want one, I think you would have to go with an aftermarket one. I am speculating, but I think that they may not offer one because it could lower the engine temp. The lower engine temp may affect (degrade) some of the emission controls.
