if it helps you feel better. get the oil cooler. under normal driving conditions
imho if you only drive it on the street its not needed...

i live close to the houston area and during this past summer even on 100 degree days i would stay around the 200 degree mark.....

but when the mood strikes and you kick her in the rear every once in a while
it will get up in the 220 to 240 range. but seems to cool down pretty quick.

choose an oil and stick with it. ask 5 guys and you will get 5 different answers. i use mobil 1 5w30.. im at 27.000 miles and it doesn't burn a drop..
