I think a finned oil filter wouldn't provide much cooling but would something like a water jacket around an oil filter work then take the heated water to a radiator or would there not be enough heat transfer? Since its not re-routing the oil it wouldn't affect the warranty...
Oil heat exchanger from Draile.com is a alternative to the fined oil coolers. Although the oil heat exchanger does not bolt in place of a oil filter and only offers minimal heat cooling. I do not know how well a oil heat exchanger would lower oil temps on a 370Z.
