If your the type of driver thats going to drive the MGBGT hard,I'd fit one.Basicly the oil cooler does exactly what it says on the tin,cools the oil keeping it thicker,so more protection,so longer engine life.I had one fitted to my Midget and oil pressure improved when engine was hot.

certain, definetly replace your oil. the priority is that through the years the nice and cozy temperature from the friction of the engine wears the oil and its detergents down leaving little protection for needed engine aspects. in my opinion, i imagine that the 3k mile rule is previous. Engine oils have replace lots through the years. look in any proprietors guide and they're going to say to regulate the oil each 6-8k miles, some even longer. The 3k 3 month rule is only a way for oil agencies and quicky lube places to make extra income. Use a oil that meets the criteria for you engine (examine proprietors guide) and regulate it via the guidelines stated via the proprietors guide. you need to also evaluate a authentic oem clear out or nice equivalent.

I've mostly heard of transmission coolers extending transmission life rather than engine oil coolers. The modern synthetic engine oils can handle extreme high temperatures and not form sludge in your engine.

They went to the 5 bearing crank with oil cooler as standard because the 3 bearing with no oil cooler was prone to failures.

Of course, because the engine wont be being cooled efficiently, it will cause the car to overheat, quite often, and with an old car like that, it would end up costing a lot to repair.

Put one on, those tend to run hot and a cooler will go a long way in making it run more efficiently, last longer.

No because of it design and use of a cast iron block and relatively low revs it does not generate the heat of modern engines and dissipates heat that it does produce very well

It won't help. Use synthetic oil at the right weight. It holds up to heat a lot better,.
