It seems operating temp for these oils with 0W-20 is around 100*C or 212*F. This is to ensure you are boiling off any condensation in the motor. I do not plan on adding an oil cooler with my Edelbrock, initially, until I see high temps on normal driving (I do not track). I will be adding a PCV catch-can, though.
It seems like everyone screaming oil coolers are parroting or reps looking to sell them.

Hello from Mill Creek over here! I recently installed my Emtron gauge and finally got my oil pressure sensor working... I been pretty much cruising at around 180+ F with an oil cooler that opens at around that temp. I think I broke 200 F when I was hooning around but so far no problems...
Oil pressure was within 20-60 psi range. Will drive more and see how the data looks.
Have to mention that I am using 5w40 oil and with a rebuilt motor. Also am kinda scared to drive that right now since my stupid retainers that sit on the rocker arm sheered off (And I don't know how!)...
Really need to get that retainer kit back in...
