I'll probably only add one if I start doing 10+ track days/year again and if I can find an oil cooler with a layout I like.
I doubt in the ECU logs that they'd record a long enough period of data to prove track use but they could probably make an educated guess based on time stamps, RPM/engine load, and oil temps/pressures. Maybe g-meter values on this new gen? I wouldn't hide from it anyway. Pay to play kind of deal, just my personal take.

haha, ZDan is vocal of his opinion on oil coolers but I tend to agree with his view. And my oil analysis will agree with me as well. Again, not saying it isn't beneficial to have cooler oil temps during track conditions, if my car lived on a race track, I will be adding one in a heart beat. But for my use case, I don't think I will benefit much from one.
