The problem, as I understand it, is that you want some circulation in the oil on a regular basis. You don't just want a few quarts sitting up there for track days, not mixing with the other oil. That's why the thermostatic plates still allow small amounts of circulation even at low temps.

I'm going to try the shield, personally.
