Question is is it needed? And for those that live in cold climates, what is the drawback?
I see the OP is in Florida, so probably not a concern, but as an example, SavageGeese ended up disconnecting it in the winter, as even with the thermostatic plate, it took forever in the winter for oil temps to come up to operating temps..
Also remember that there is now a fair amount of oil that is not removed during a normal oil change..
In the OP's case, living in a warm climate year round and tracking frequently, it is probably worth it. Just saying in general, ymmv depending upon your location and whether you really run the car hard for extended periods of time (tracking) and often..
