Fan on Oil Cooler?

Has anyone thought of or attempted to attach a fan to the oil coolers? Much like the exisiting fan on the radiator?

Do you think there would be a dramatic decrease in oil temperatures?

Any possible problems with doing something like this?

The bracket and oil lines cover the back of the oil cooler pretty well. You'd need an after market cooler or something so a fan can sit flat on it.

I'd like to see someone do a few runs with the wheel well covers on, then a few runs w/o them to see what the temp would be between both.

About a year ago some guy mounted computer cooling fans on them and claimed they were surviving. Try a search.
