Just install an
oil cooler for looks and don't hook it up. It's completely unnecessary on the street. My stroked 428 with the usual added capacity
oil pan takes many, many, many miles of street driving to get the oil up to anywhere near the water temperature.
My 2017 Mustang GT350 has oil, transmission and differential coolers. The engine management system won't allow full power below 190 F oil temperature. I drove the entire last winter and never saw oil get close to 190 F. My transmission and differential rarely topped 100 F. Some guys are resorting to blocking the coolers off for winter.
These things just aren't necessary for normal street driving.
