I have the oil changed every ~6 track hours and ~3000-5000 street miles, my oil's not seeing anything like 25 hours of track time. If I was running 24hr endurance events I *might* consider an oil cooler, but I think I'd first run one and compare before/after oil analysis. Good 5w30 or 40 synth should still be in good shape after 25 hours... Would have to weigh benefit vs. risk of cooler. If there's little benefit, prolly not worth the risk of having a fragile heat exchanger and multiple additional oil lines that could be vulnerable in the event of getting banged around...
