how does the 2012 factory oil cooler stand up to track/auto x

I think the stock 2012 radiator isn't up to the task of cooling the water and oil both. I saw large drops in oil temperature when going to the CSF

I think the stock 2012 radiator isn't up to the task of cooling the water and oil both. I saw large drops in oil temperature when going to the CSF radiator, and yet again with the CSF triple pass. Typical oil temps in normal driving were less than 200F with the triple pass, down from about 245 with the stock radiator.

Never had a problem auto-xing with a full stock setup.
