Well, now you know -

Since you live in Oregon (where the temperatures don't usually get that hot) and you don't track the car and assuming you don't spend all day running up and down Mt Hood in August, I would think that you wouldn't need an oil cooler.

My take is that, for average driving (some spirited), with a stock engine, one shouldn't get all carried away with all these aftermarket gadgets that measure too damn much stuff and just alarms people.

Think, back in the day, we just had a speedometer/odometer, a gas gauge, a "real" temperature gauge, an amp meter and a "real" oil pressure gauge, and we got along just fine.
