My main issue with a 25 row cooler is getting the oil *up* to temp during cooler weather. my gauge sits at 140 (all the way cold) all the way to work (one hour drive) all winter. Hence I keep the rpms below 3500 all winter waiting for my temps to at least hit 150. If you run a cooler, fab up a blocker plate to shroud the cooler.
And yes I have a thermostatic plate on my cooler (from Z1) it just never fully closes.
I'm considering running a lighter oil in the winter, but that seems a bit scary as I don't really know how to safely chose one.
