I also switched to M1 0W-40 right before the track day.

Seems like a center-mounted oil cooler (in front of radiator) may be a better spot for the oil cooler than side-mounted like I have. I think without proper ducting, and the fact that the fender liner prevents proper flow, side-mounted seems to be tougher to make effective

Same stuff.

My 34 row is mounted just to the right, in front of the radiator. Also made duct work behind the bumper to direct the air flow to the radiator/oil cooler/power steering cooler. You don't want any air bleeding off around the sides. A splitter helps with air flow too.
