2. You mention getting an oil cooler that is stainless steel - is there a particular reason that SS was chosen as the material v. aluminum? I would think conduction across and convection through an aluminum part would be better, certainly conduction as SS is a poor thermal conductor.

End tank heat exchangers (oil) is as shown in this link

Other coolers are similar for power steering and trans.
Plate type is much better than tube-and-fin heat exchangers with respect to pressure drop and heat transfer.
One reason for stainless is for strength to withstand 100 PSIG oil pressure without resorting to thick wall sections - which would be required for aluminum.
