just called the dealer. gave them my vin. they gave me a price of $289 but refused to give me a part number. there is cooler in front of the radiator with metal lines coming out. i believe that's an oil cooler. there is also a cooler between the radiator and the motor. it's located toward the bottom of the radiator. perhaps the ac condenser?

$289 isn't horrible

But really you need to be looking at the radiator, not around it

The item in front is the Ac condenser, next is the radiator and fan assembly. The small fined cooler is for the power steering.

If you haven automatic, there Well be two lines connected to the radiator for cooling the trans fluid on the passenger side. I have not seen the engine oil cooler connections.
