Is this where I ask the infamous question about how many people have installed oil coolers?

Pat, temperatures in the 180 - 220 range are perfectly fine. If you are consistently around 250/260 (during cooler weather) then that would be cause for concern. Please note that oil cooler will void your warranty and many on the forum complain of whining noise after installing cooler. I would get one for track purpose otherwise for leisure driving you might not need one at all.
