What about the issue of the Savage having very low oil pressure to begin with, and then asking that to work its way through a cooler whose passages may be restrictive in size and further reduce the flow rate? Also, what about when the engine is off and the oil drains back down out of the cooler, and then when you start the engine, the oil has to refill the cooler to get past it into the engine, while all the while the engine is running with perhaps less oil than it should have on moving parts? Furthermore, suppose cooler restriction reduces lack of flow, but not enough to quickly damage the engine, but enough to slowly shorten engine life? Automatic transmissions have been damaged by cheap coolers that were not correctly engineered for the application. It would be interesting to see what Suzuki's engineers have to say about this.
