you shouldnt be over cooling the oil at any point with a thermostatic plate
if your plate opens up at 180F and you get to 180F, the plate will open allowing the oil to run through the cooler, and if the oil gets cooler than 180F, than the plate will close and prevent oil from running through the cooler
basically a thermostatic plate allows the car to run without the cooler to a certain point and when it reaches the temps that it is set to open at, it will allow the oil to be cooled
