Also coolant temp exits the radiator at around 165 degress so this will quite good for the oil temps plus you reach operating temp sooner. The oil temps will be very consistent.
Can anyone confirm this? ^^^

Strongly considering going the coolant to oil cooler route and want to make sure I have a solid game plan before moving forward.

Right now I'm planning on going with the C43 core with a 330 mm length. According to Bat, Inc. that cooler should be equivalent to a 25-30 row air to oil cooler. Currently leaning towards a non-thermostatic sandwich plate since the radiator coolant will prevent overcooling. Also going to get actual hydraulic hoses with crimped ends in lieu of the push on stuff just for the added security.

Before anyone says just get the air to oil coolers, the Z is used for AutoX where the air cooler won't have air flow between runs.
