Which is why I recommended a cooler for his particular case...
I just don't think its always necessary for people living in more moderate climates if they aren't tracking the car. They tend to have to trade under-cooling for over-cooling, hence the various block-off plate add-ons.
Over-cooling is harder on a DD than under-cooling, if nothing else because the engine will spare itself via "limp mode" as temps climb into the iffy range.
However, for a guy in Bahrain, or any region regularly seeing 100+ f ambient temps, an oil cooler is definitely worthwhile.
