Empower yourself with a Scangauge of some sort. The OBDII system in our cars can track oil temps (unfortunately not oil pressure). Buy a Scangauge. Monitor your temps. If they go above 230F+ for the driving you do for the conditions you're in.. then it's time to look into an oil cooler.
This isn't necessarily one of those *bling* items you want to install to look cool at the local car meet...especially if it doesn't have a thermostat.

I believe that they use a thermostat but I also believe it's a Mocal so it's partial bypass when cold.
