This is really good and simple idea to control the temp but out of curiosity, would it be better to have a ball valve to adjust the amount of oil going through the cooler thus increase or decrease the amount of cooling? On top of that, the valve junction can also include ports for temp gauge as well. Of couse, this would would cost a lot more to make with the need for the valve and connectors along with the need for a bypass line unless with a thermostatic plate only. The upside, IMO, there is infinitely more control to the desired amount of cooling.
