Unless you are having a temp problem I wouldn't fool with it. I have one and I don't think it does much.

I would not recommend installing an oil cooler unless you want to go racing.

I agree. Not worth all the trouble.

Mobil 1 will solve any hot oil concerns since it continues to perform exceedingly well at any temps your oil is ever likely to see.
