I guess the engine oil isn't a problem. Its cooled with the coolant itself. The tranny would be more of a concern, but I have no idea what kind of temps it currently sees.

An actuated door I'm sure would work fine. I still have the automatic one I had designed for the Matrix and haven't installed. I was just hoping to find a way to improve aero and cooling at the same time.

I'm not sure how I'd use an oil cooler and reduce aero?
