Also, any feedback/comments on the 2012 Oil Cooler? How effective is that thing? It does not appear to be huge, but at least it is something.
TX guys.

the 370 puts alot of heat into its oil even under light track use, so i would run quality synthetic like people have recommended, or at minimum a autoparts store synthetic with a ACEA 3 rated weight.
even in socal weather, i would get at least a 25 row oil cooler, cause even if you run great oil that doesnt break down at 250 degrees, the VQ engine bearings shouldnt be seeing that high of temps anyway. The 2012 oil cooler is just a oil to water "donut", basically your oil is being cooled off by you water/radiator, but even the stock radiator is under sized for the motor's cooling demands.
