same design was used from 92-08

basically a sleeve goes over the lower radiator hose and your oil is pumped through that sleeve, and the temperature of the coolant in the hose lowers the temperature of the oil being pumped.

any universal oil cooler will work they're pretty cheap make sure you get hoses and mount it up front make sure you use good hose fittings and their nice and tight you dont wanna be like GM with their leaky oil cooler lines killing engines everywhere from leaking out all their oil

I know that one goes to the fitting that screws on the in the factory location of the filter on the right hand side of the block looking down into the engine bay. the other I am not for sure because I have never seen one used on a mustang..... not sure why they would even have it in there.... if its a street car..

Dude ANY external oil cooler will work! 2 hose clamps on your 2 metal oil lines +an oil cooler of your choice and you're golden.
