Nothing. It's just a plastic panel with ribs.
I can't seem to find the parts schematics I had. I'll have to get some more. Let me do some more research into this second oil cooler issue. I shall verify my original findings.
2004-2009 AT oil cooler system.
Funny if they had it on the 2006 why would they take it back off the 2009?

Was there ever some still service announcement thing where people could come and pay to have a second one put on? (forget the acronym for those servicey things)

Can someone take a pic of their AT with only the one cooler, I would kinda like to see what is therem

I fitted a 2nd oil cooler to my JDM 6port but put water through it instead of oil . Works really well on my turbo setup - no other cooling mods . Track tested too

/\ only one .
One hose to T in bottom return line of header tank - other hose to a T (by the thermostat) in the supply hose to top of header tank .
That way it is still thermostatically controlled . Have seen guys tap into the heater hose which I don't think is a good idea as this bypasses the thermostat and makes the engine run too cold and take too long to warm up .
