GReddy oil cooler w/ race shroud, for those wondering which cooler I use.

It gets freezing in Orange County? lol Just kidding, but honestly, although I'm sure your car has traveled to cold areas, but was it to Vermont-like cold areas? I'm truly curious because it is fricken freezing there, and it is why I suggested the OP (who is from Canada, and possible of a more northern latitude) could possibly go without a dedicated oil cooler for daily driving his car.

I have never heard of this rating system (hardness zones), so I looked it up and got this image, which may illustrate the climate differences that might explain the disparity between your experience and the experience of @
DarkPira7e and potentially the OP's. Maybe it was a wind chill factor and humidity in Vermont or the car was sitting in -20°C all night, so it was colder to begin with, but it seems reasonable that both of your experiences were likely normal and expected:
