Pressure wise I don't know what they are capable of, yours should be no different to mine.
Thanks Gav,

I'm asking this because last Tuesday, I blew my Oil Cooler to smitherines. Dropped about 4 litres of transmission oil over 100 metres and you should have seen the white smoke from the oil on the exhausts out the back. I thought my dream car was going up in smoke. The new Oil Cooler had only done a little over 1,000 ks and the transmission was running at normal operating temperatures when the Cooler let go. Maybe it was just a lemon of an Oil Cooler. The tow home cost me $200.

That's why I am trying to find out if anyone else has has a similar problem. I was running an 11 row Derale Oil Cooler at the time.
