While doing an oil pan repair that may get documented elsewhere in this forum, I noticed this rectangular part with rubber lines running to it bolted to the back of the pan. What in the world is it? See the photo below. Disregard the aviation spark plug in the oil pan for now..

It's an oil cooler. Oil flows through it as well as coolant. The oil can get hotter than the 170-190º the engine is designed to run at, so the coolant effectively removes heat from the oil inside it.
Never saw one like it before I had my Volvo either!

As others said - it's an oil cooler. IIRC all 03+ turbo cars had these. Prior to this, oil was sent to a section of the radiator.
