I have one fitted with a thermostat and it hardly ever comes on line,only on a very very hot day stuck in traffic :ill:
I changed the engine oil yesterday and was tempted to take it off altogether.
Saying that though the Fuellers all have them and a fan !!!!
I also have the Metchamex alloy oil tank fitted with the extra capacity and i reckon that does the job on it's own.

Fitting the long series oil filter adds to capacity also.

Alloy tank has to be one of the best oil coolers I've come across. It was so beautiful though, I kept it on my desk just to look at for a couple of weeks, broke my bleeding heart to fit it 8-)

As a point of interest, the standard oil filter is actually the 'long' one. The extra-long one is the one you want.
Mine have always been black.

I have a Jagg already fitted, but it is ugly and messy. I want the confidence to take it off (even though my XB has one)...

Don't you need it for your X1?
