Ditto on simply blocking off the cooler when it's cool/cold outside. I simply used some blue painters tape. I was going to take it off today after the air temp hit 80° here in Houston yesterday, but the temps are plunging this upcoming week. Until daily temps start hitting the 90's, I may just leave half the tape on. Unless I'm doing a track day or aggressively driving back roads, oil temp hasn't been a problem.
Even with it blocked-off, and me aggressively paddle shifting last weekend on some back roads between Austin and Houston last weekend, my oil temp never went above 220° and quickly dropped down below 200° once we got back to a steady cruising speed.
