May be slightly larger than this OEM TT part:

I think their claims of 12-35 degrees are a might optimistic based on oil temps with and witout "Real" oil coolers... Remember, since it is interfaced with the water cooling system, you're actually using 180 degree water to "Cool" the oil. Normal oil temps without a cooler run 225 degrees or so, for a differential of only 45 degrees. Maybe under extreme condidtions you'd see some improvement at the lower end of their claims. Hardly worth it though when you can put a real standalone oil cooler in for the same money.
