Do I have an oil cooler?

Sorry for the naive question, but where exactly is the oil cooler? Anyone have a pic of it/location so I can make sure to add the correct amount of oil?

At the bottom and in front of the radiator. There's a good diagram here:

You need to be a contortionist to photograph it!

My 97 does not have an oil cooler. There is a transmission cooler mounted high in front of the radiator. I think oil coolers were added to later years.

That is your power steering cooler, your transmission cooler is built into the main rad.

All XKRs had oil coolers, only some XK8s did some didn't
