Yep, but I can't see it by looking under the car!

The Z51 oil cooler (manual tranny only) is painted black but fairly easy to see, just kneel down and look into the front of the grill area.

This subject has come up often since the C6 was introduced and apparently GM has changed the cooler application from year to year. My 05 Z51 with MN6 has the engine cooler in the radiator on the drivers side, the transmission oil cooler in the radiator on the passenger side and the power steering cooler behind the radiator. (separate cooler) It also has drilled rotors that only the Z51 had in 05. It's on the sticker in the glove box also.
