Hi friends i would like to install a engine oil cooler for my ridgeline 2012, any suggestions or problem?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that my 2012 Sport has an Engine Oil Cooler as par of the Sport package. Not sure if that applies to your RTL, but the owner's manual could be of use in finding out.

The Ridgeline has a transmission cooler (all trim levels) from stock. An engine oil cooler would have to be aftermarket.

I've seen people bond aluminum heat-sinks (with fins) to their oil pans, but that might take away ground clearance. You can get them at local speed shops.

Not sure why you feel you need one - there haven't been any (to my knowledge) reports of oil-related failures from Ridgeline owners.

Unless it is a racing vehicle I don't think there is much to gain. With more 'stuff' comes more potential failure points. Most overheating is due to coolant issues anyway.
