Is 19 row Oil Cooler too much for NA?
Hey folks, I’m considering purchasing the 19 row oil cooler kit from MAPerformance. By default the kit comes with a 13 row (I’m assuming targeting NA use) but my thinking is if I upgrade to the larger cooler I am future proofing for FI. Is this sound logic? Is it possible the 19 row cooler would be too large and prevent my engine oil from reaching optimum temps on the street? I’m assuming not because the sandwich plate is thermostatic, but wanted to reach out for better informed opinions.

With a thermostatic plate, my oil cooler still overcooked my oil in negative temps. I couldn't get my oil over 150 in highway driving

I think because interstate driving is an extreme case. In traffic it probably would warm up, but we don't have much traffic in Vermont, especially not I winter

More rows nets less pressure drop. Get the big one and block off some for daily. Remove cover for track.

I have the 19 row. No issues on or off track with the cooler. The coupler to the oil filter, area, however, leaks constantly so I've removed the cooler.

Opposite. More parallel paths is like having a fatter pipe.
