No issue for me. I don't intend to change oils either.

"Inferior" oil, eh? I may try that next oil change instead of using 'thrifty".

I needed the oil cooler even before the track. Uphill seems to really work the engine at high rev.. I have still seen 260 degrees even after the oil cooler installed but I was at the track and it was nearly 100 degrees. Could not get it higher that day. I usually change the oil before it is time too.
