The long and short is, if you track this car you should get an oil cooler. If you drive the car on the street like you're on a track, you should get an oil cooler and gtfo the street and onto the track. If you drive the street with only occasional spirited driving and don't see the oil temps pushed past 250 for prolonged periods then you don't need an oil cooler.

240 to 250 is optimal
