anyone have a power steering cooler, I seen one at pick-a-part the other day, thought it looked pretty cool so I bought it, does the power steering fluid get that hot? I was also wondering about engine oil filter options, I've seen ones that look twice as long as the standard ones any thought on this. another cool thing I seen the other day was a guy put a oil filter adaptor on his transmission lines running to the trans cooler, what do you guys and gals think of this stuff?????

I have never seen a power steering cooler,got any pics?

I bigger oil filter should help clean the oil better and give you a little more oil capacity.
