I was in the industrial cleaning industry for a while and the only effective 
oil cooler cleaning I knew of was done by immersion in an ultrasonic tank with 
a pressured flow through the cooler. The ultrasonic action dislodged 
particulates which were extracted by the fluid flow through the cooler. This 
used aqueous cleaning solution (solvents do not work with ultrasonics) heated 
to 180*F and with a mild alkaline degreasing agent. It is cost justified in 
fleet maintenance settings, but buying a replacement oil cooler is probably 
less expensive for us racers.
