You kidding me. His outside temp was 116 F on the gauge. It is hot as all get out in Bahrain. Been there before. It actually
get's even hotter.

I was seeing 110c at about 25c outside on average. I ordered a 34 row oil cooler,installed it and now see 90 to 94c. On the way home from work today,my oil temp got to 90c and it is +32c

Which is why I recommended a cooler for his particular case...

I just don't think its always necessary for people living in more moderate climates if they aren't tracking the car. They tend to have to trade under-cooling for over-cooling, hence the various block-off plate add-ons.

Over-cooling is harder on a DD than under-cooling, if nothing else because the engine will spare itself via "limp mode" as temps climb into the iffy range.

However, for a guy in Bahrain, or any region regularly seeing 100+ f ambient temps, an oil cooler is definitely worthwhile.
