Is my oil cooler overkill for the street?

I don't go over ~3k rpm until oil temp is over 180.

Is that what people recommend 180 before getting on it? And when I say get on it I’m not saying red line, tach flashing. Just a decent higher rpm.

i usually wait for oil temps to be at least 160F so it is at operating temps before i start pounding on it
check your oil though and see what the operating temps are and just wait till you're past that temp

what oil do you run?
afaik M1 0w40 operating temp is 160F, is it bad to pound on a car with oil that just got up to temp?
