In any case, I'd prefer the "OEM" cooler in-line with an air to oil cooler if that makes sense. The problem with coolers is that they are too efficient (see: winter) and this engine already has a cold oil issue as well as a hot oil issue - either a higher temp thermostat, a piece of cardboard, or the two cooler solution I speak of is what I'd be interested in.

Or this cooler with a more efficient radiator would also work and be less complex while still providing both adequate cooling and heating.
This is why I like the robispec style radiator/oil cooler. It's self regulating, doesn't require running hoses to the front of the radiator where they could be damaged by FOD, is efficient enough to cool both fluids, and should be a cheaper solution than a proper oil cooler and upgraded radiator.

I just don't know if I'll need one in my climate.
