I can confirm this is correct, the evos have another heat exchange row, but cant say for sure if it will fit at 08-09. I would be willing to bet it will....I was reading through the original Ducati specs. I read changes to the EVO included a larger oil cooler. Can anyone confirm this to be true? Has anyone fitted an OEM oil cooler from an EVO to their 08-09?
Thanks in advance.
Nope, you're not alone.Re: the pic above; I hope I'm not the only one who thinks that looks hideous.

Nice test, always great to see some empirical data.I own two air cooled Ducs and have replaced the oil cooler on both:
1) On my 08 hyper I installed an SC Project oil cooler.
2) On my GT1000 I installed an EVO oil cooler.
(You can see both bikes if you click the links on my signature).
I placed bigger oil coolers on both to reduce engine temperature in traffic which is the only critical situation IMHO. You will have no overheating problems if you ride at canyons, highway or track speeds.
I shared some data after installing SC-project's on my hyper:
Stock vs SC-Project Oil cooler Pics and Hard Data
I did notice a change in engine temperature after replacing the oil coolers. But to be honest, I noticed a bigger temperature drop after changing the ECU-Exhaust-Intake combo. The stock ECU mapping makes any Duc run lean and hot.
I registered the numbers displayed on the dash. The 08 model displays actual temperature data and not bars.Nice test, always great to see some empirical data.
I may have missed it but did you take your temp readings with a thermocouple on one of the end tanks of the cooler? Or does the original dash on the hyper actually show an oil temp and not just bars like the EVO dash?
Would be interesting to saturate the cooler with some high rpm running for ~15-30 minutes and then take temp readings on the the drop in temp while cruising for ~5-10 minutes at ~30mph or some low speed. This will show the true efficiency differences between each setup.
