Newby question: What about oil to water heat exchangers for oil cooling. Like the Laminova by Mocal. Are they better than conventional oil coolers? I don’t hear them mentioned much,

You still have to have a cooler for the water side, plus a pump. Too much extra plumbing.

Ah. Makes sense. Sounds like it would over complicate things. Thank you.

Complexity. I believe there are a couple Z folks on FB who have used one and routed the water side to their radiator.
It does add more load to the radiator though, so it's not entirely free cooling.

That said, a lot of cars do this from the factory because if done by the actual manufacturer, it's nicer packaging than a separate oil cooler, and also helps get oil up to temp faster.
