That means to hit the oil cooler, the starting drop has to be higher than bottom of the cooler.
Only scenario I could think of is something hard dropped from real high and then the M2 quickly drive over it at the exact window for the object to be able to make it under the car and bounce it to hit the cooler. So I think to reduce the chance of that, we can drive real slow (consider this damage can't happen to a stopped car). 
But again, I am no physics phD. (I am gonna ask people at my work since a lot of them have their phD in physics). |
There's a lot of air turbulence under a car which kicks up debris all the time. For instance, a car doing 65mph goes over a small pebble that was motionless on the ground which then gets kicked up into your oil cooler. Bang, it just had a ~65mph collision with your flimsy thin oil cooler.
