When I got my oil cooler installed, the shop recommended that I use Shell Rotellat 15W-40 & Fram oil filter PH3950.

Your shop needs to re-think that recommendation.

Purolator pure one 14610 which fits just fine with my oil cooler sandwich plate and Redline 5w30

What part? The weight, filter or oil type? Rotella synth is what my shop recommends as well, and I've used it for years on other cars.

The 15w40 is a bit out there. I was recommended a 5w40 as opposed to the stock weight.

I've never been a fan of fram filters.

When the question is about oil, the answer is to go do some reading over at Bob Is The Oil Guy.

I'm very surprised that nobody mentioned Royal Purple. I called Advance Auto Part and they said that I should get the PureOne 14612 not the 14610, any idea why? guess I will be running Royal Purple based on this article (I recommend you take a look):

Because the 14612 is officially the correct size. The 14610 is longer. Just order it off of Amazon.

Well marketed, but nothing special. I run it in my lawnmower.

What part is confusing?

If you want to keep it simple, use Mobil 1 5-30 oil and a K&N HP-1008 filter. Purolator filter is good too.
