I change diff and tranny oil once a year using Motul Gear 300. No need for you to worry about that now though - you should be fine on stock fluids. Maybe think about changing those out after ~6 track days, depending how hard you drive.

I'm generally happy with the Perrin oil cooler. Fitment and quality were all great and it was simple to install (I'm not a mechanic and had never done an oil cooler before). As I mentioned earlier though, even NA it runs a bit hotter than I want, but the smaller core size is a good compromise for a car that will see some street use. I also like that it's center mounted so my front license plate doubles as a block-off plate on the street.
So you must change oil/before after every track day? or do you change every few(2-3)?

I see this jackerson radiator/oilcooler combo. I wonder how well that works.
