My experiences with a Stillen 25 row oil cooler custom mounted to the driver's side:

1) Same as Triple's, I ran the car in canyon driving without a cooler in hot ambient temperatures and got very close to 280 degrees and I wasn't pushing the car super hard.
2) With the cooler, I saw 30-40 degree drop in temperature everywhere, especially when pushing the car to its max. Pushing the car hard, I saw a 60 degree drop in oil temperatures and the car never goes past 220 degrees now.
3) You need a cooler, don't even listen to the dealer.
4) It should be an hour and a half most like since they have to drill the two holes in the plastic fairing. Other than that, it is just a matter of connecting lines and bolting on the cooler and sandwich adapter.

Thank you for the info. Looks like I will be installing an oil cooler after all!
Kindest regards,
Tom
