Thanks for the info on what not to do - removing the engine tray or shroud.

I would install an oil cooler if it would not void Nissan's warranty, for which all the posts seem to point to as a consequence. While I don't track the car, 20 minutes of "fun" driving in high humidity and ambient temperatures above 75F drive the oil temperature up to 250F. Other forums I have read when searching on "high oil temps" seem to indicate that temperatures below 300F are acceptable when using a higher end oil such as Red Line, so I will continue to use that oil in lieu of an oil cooler.
