Our cars do have an "Oil Cooler" but it is NOT what you are describing. According to my FSM, the "Oil Cooler" sits between the Oil Filter Adapter and the Oil Filter itself. It looks like it is nothing more than a Heat Sink. There are no water lines going to or from this hunk of metal!

There was an adapter plate for the oil cooler lines... I don't think too many other H bodies used them... Its even stated in the owners manual if you have an SSE 89-91 for sure, you may need to add more oil due to the oil cooler...lol

Nope... You aren't missng anything... I don't have all of the toys on either of my cars... Just more headaches is all it would be to me... But I would still love to have an SSE just for **** & Giggles... lol..
I don't know how much good the oil coolers really did... I know the caddiliacs had them at one point too.. Odd what GM does... And engines without them still go far beyond 200,000-300,000 miles too...
