oil cooler would be no different to one fitted to a 1275... the oil feed pipe it would replace is exactly the same..

As for would it be required on a 998, unlikely unless it's something like wil_h would be driving...

An oil cooler is an oil cooler, they aren't really specific to an engine size any more than they are specific to a climate or vehicle loading. How large a cooler you fit depends on how much cooling you need to do. It might improve the engine life a bit, but it might shorten it dramatically if you are over cooling the oil. Why do you think you need one?
