Default Recommended Oil coolers & questions

Currently in the market for an oil cooler.. Seeing the temp in the 220's touching 230 late at night on the freeway and 220s during some stop-and-go traffic during errand runs.. well worries me for some reason. You can say the only reason I'm in the market for one is for a peace of mind . I guess its sort of like a pet peeve of mine, especially when my Ninja Zx6r touches 200 degrees cruising (it bothers me for some reason )

The car does see high revs often and short spirited runs, as well as the back roads quite a bit lately. Im located up in the Northern California and we have been seeing triple digits for a while; but knowing how winter comes by, it can get somewhat cold, no lesser than 32 degrees cold though. As a DD, I visit Reno often, about once every 3 months- and it was ugly cold and snowing when I last visited.

Could you pick your own mounting spot?
Would these fit just fit w/ Stillen G3 intakes in the front (per mounting spot)?
Does the front bumper sit flush over it?
How much more oil is needed to compensate for the oil sitting in the lines?
Is there a company that makes a cooler w/ a by-pass switch/valve to completely shut or at least somewhat close off some of the oil being passed?I only ask this just for the 'just in case' scenarios from when traveling to a colder climate that sees freezing temps
When you do an oil change, do these lines completely drain as well? Or could I have to disconnect them to train it?
How much cooling can these things do? In terms of what possible temperatures can I be looking at cruising on the freeway for an hour?
Any companies offer warranty?
Would there be any problems or retrofitting involved (such as removing, or moving a line or something along those..lines)

Price isn't an issue; though I am not looking to spend 2-3x on something that will perform the same with a cheaper option. Not looking to upgrade after that as well (unless it breaks of course). It is looking to stay once it is mounted up. Car is going to be N/A for its life unless someone throws a free supercharger at me.


Thanks in advance!
