aesthetically the
oil cooler looks great. i had to disconnect mine for same reasons,
oil temp on most days was too cold, especially with colder outside ambient temps. . i added an aluminum
oil cooler cover/block out plate that attached with velcro on the sides of the cooler and could put it on / take it off with ease as temps required. finally, i got tired of on / off so i just disconnected the cooler and left it in place but not hooked up. now oil temps are fine all the time, usually 85-95 C, but never exceeding 100 degrees C ( 212 F) in traffic on very hot days . if i was to do any track time, then the cooler would be needed. til then, i am leaving it disconnected. btw, oil is mineral base, 20/50. bill.
