If you're one of those obnoxious driver (always having your engine in high RPM, downshifting for no reason), then get the oil cooler
And of course install a oil cooler if you're gonna plan on tracking your car.

well, if you ask around, i shift normally 3k and despite that, cruising on the highway at a steady speed my oil temps had hit 230 since then i got an oil cooler.
if yours doesnt have issues congrats. but there are many many many many who had the temps go up kinda high (not 280) just driving around and im sure that were all not "obnoxious" drivers.
