Yes, I do, as I'm sure lots of people do.  It theoretically will catch all the 
scrap, but I always wonder whether the filter might clog and open the by-pass.  
I replace the cooler.

Has anybody ever put a remote oil filter between the engine and the input of
the oil cooler to prevent klag from getting into the cooler?

Compare the price of a new oil cooler with the price of a new 
motor.  I'd have to ask myself if I'm willing to take a chance to 
save a hundred or two $.

Seems a shame to throw away a new cooler, but they are virtually 
impossible to get completely clean, unfortunately.
