this is why i got the 19row, it keeps my engine oil cool enough during everyday driving and even abit more spirited cruises like this sunday. On the track i would estimate it would last maybe around 7-8 laps before having to pull over for it to cooldown. It is a smaller oil cooler but it still allows for atleast double theo track time compared to the stock 3-4 laps before your car just refuses to go anymore. Personally i think its good to have it, saw it as a flaw in the car that needed fixing. I mean 220 F (105 C) normal oil temperature on a hot summer day is a bit too hot i would say. Now it stays at 180F (82 C) so its much much better. Better for the engine, prolongs the life of the oil as well. Keeping the engine cooler through oil cooling i would imagine improves performance/millage as well over the long term. Dont quote me on that one though, thats just an assumption.
