Mishimoto or Dorman oil cooler?

I had a pretty severe oil leak(undercarriage coated in oil constantly) and a busted bypass valve assembly on my OEM oil cooler. I just installed the Mishimoto aluminum oil cooler/filter housing. It fits fine but after almost a week, I'm getting oil temp and oil pressure codes with a CEL. Now I have to remove everything again to get the right brand sensors installed, so keep that in mind. Hopefully that's all it is for me.

Thanks for the update. I'd probably reuse my oem sensors and not have to deal with any CEL.

I don't recall how much coolant loss was involved. I usually use vice-grip hose clamps to minimize loss. 50/50 is more convenient but concentrated coolant is cheaper (just use distilled water to mix).

For spark plugs and sensors, I go with oem. Just because the plugs are such a pain to get to and oem sensors aren't too much more than other brands. How many miles? Might want to go whole hog and refresh coil packs and injectors. When I do mine, I'm actually thinking of upgrading to the newer style manifold (5281803AA) and injectors (5281427AA) as well. Its the same manifold/injectors used on newer JL's & JT's among others.
