I use to have all kinds of fancy plumbing, cooler, etc.

Then the factory guys told me to just run Mobil 1 and stop worrying so much about oil temps. They also clued me in that lower oil levels reduces temps (a whole bunch!)




The problem with running an engine oil cooler is that your oil needs to be at temp to work effectively and parasitic load.
If you're cooling oil just to cool the oil you're shooting yourself in the foot.
A proper oil cooling system will have a thermostatic valve and a bypass. Below critical temperatures the oil is kept in the block. Once it gets too hot the valve opens and allows the oil to circulate through the cooler.

We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
