If your car has never gone above 250 degrees? you're good to go. The second i see over 250? I'd consider one. If you're not competing in any sport and haven't been aggressive enough on the car to get high oil temps. cooler not needed. On the street you can control oil temps with good throttle control and a high quality synthetic. Without my cooler i was able to drop oil temps by making sure the car steady cruises no higher than 2,750rpm. inside of 10-15 min, you'll drop 10-20 degrees. You can drive this car hard and not hit limp mode if you take cool down laps or rides. But if you're seriously competing... The oil cooler is a must. There is no cool down lap in a competition till it's all said and done.
I have one cuz i drive hard... really hard.
