Any prolonged spirited driving (like our mid-A cruises) can get our temps up really quick. I know Shahid was telling me he almost hit limp mode on one of the cruises.

For the most part though, you are right. For daily driving around town and a few quick acceleration bursts won't warrant an oil cooler. I plan to autocross and do some HPDE's this year so I want to invest in a small oil cooler so I can have some fun on the track.
Yeah, I heard that. I just wish there was something easier, i guess.
