Who wants to settle for less hp?

Also note that warranty claims are fully borne by mazda factory(or any other manufacturer) and not MM. even labour is paid for by the factory. So MM(and other local car agents)has a Fat profit margin for selling the cars. Their risks are comparitively low.
Coupe07 is right about the second cooler. weather is the determinant. I'm not too sure if the car has a oil thermostat, if it has then having 2 coolers will not overcool the oil even in japan. yes, oil being too cool is also not good.
