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.

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.
