This is true. It's quite reliable to drive daily. But I would caution folks that, even if driving normally, situations may arise that cause at least the brake issues and the oil issues.

The brake issue is very cheap do deal with. Better braking fluid is affordable, and pads are affordable depending on budget. You may run into a problem if driving the car for long enough.

The oil cooler is a little pricey, but not bad. This issue can creep up in everyday life. On a hot enough day, in bumper to bumper traffic, or if you're out for a spirited drive... What I did before my oil cooler install was just to keep my eye on the gauge, and if you're starting to push 250 degrees, just dial back on the spirited driving. Cruise for a bit and find a place to stop.

But again, these are fairly uncommon occurrences. It is simply better to be wary of them than blind to the possibility.
