Hello I have a 2008 Accent and had a trailer hitch installed. I knew I had to have a tranny cooler and oil cooler too. The tranny cooler i went with is a extruded aluminum ( tube with fins) one pass design (straight through). I originally wanted the tube style and couln't find
one to fit. Actually going to a rod show I looked at the parts section and there was one similar
but designed as a 2 pass (down and back) thats the one I would recomend to be rid of more
heat. Now with that Summit or Jegs sells oil cooler thermostats that will by-pass cool oil until
warmed up. They work great. I had a hot rod shop install the stuff using the blue silicone hoses. Hot rod shops install coolers all the time. Now my oil cooler is actually a trans cooler from a junk yard out of a mid 80's ford truck. They had factory trans coolers installed, they are a stack plate design (highly efficient). In all I may go and have both replaced with the extruded alum. 2 pass design, they have a huge surface area and are very efficient. These coolers are sold by street rod vendors. The sandwitch adaptor between the oil filter I got at
a speed shop, I havent seen them in Jegs or Summit. Now with the oil adaptor you can't run
the hyundai oil filter anymore, you have to get a filter with a flat gasket (Microguard). I had a oil change done and was leaking oil. The stock filter has a raised edge and the adaptor has
some relieves that cut into the gasket. Good Luck
