212F seems quite low even for constant 75mph on the highway! I'd expect at least 255F at the track with the factory Forester cooler based on reports I've seen, and some report oil temps at the track barely any lower vs. no cooler at all.

Doesn't seem low for streets I would say. Initially I had thought he was completely stock. But with the forester cooler, it seems to do a nice job taking care of oil temps that aren't on the rise quickly. As I said earlier, I see no more than 225-230F when cruising at 3.5K+ RPM on a warm-hot day. It doesn't change much on the hottest days either, still don't see it tip above 230F. So I can see how the forester cooler would be able to upkeep with that as the coolant stays fairly steady with consistent airflow.
