What is this?
I was changing the oil today and noticed this, so what is it? I straightened the fins cause I'm pretty sure their not supposed to be bent, and also cleaned up all that grease under there. :eek:

100% positive. LT1 Vette's don't have any form of oil cooler. In fact that's one theory why synthetic oil is required for Vettes but not F-bodies. F-bodes had oil coolers (or oil warmers as the case may be)

Heh, that looks like my car, down to the blue Delco filter.
Apparently our cars need a PS fluid cooler for when we're cranking hard on those big front meats...
