I have a Beltronics RX65 Radar detector, but past that my only other addition that I consider adding safety (for the engine) and piece of mind for myself is installing my 25 row oil cooler.

I ran into a dangerous situation caused by high oil temps over a few weekends ago. I was driving up I5 north and hit the first mountain pass section. I was still oil cooler-less and slowly but surely, the oil temps started climbing. I was initially going 70 but I tried to slow down to help but the temperatures kept going up. I inevitably hit limp mode and I literally could not even maintain 45mph which was almost as slow as the big rigs trying to weeze up. The temperatures would not get lower as I was still going up hill until I started the downhill section and coasted down. Anyways, sorry for my long winded rant on that topic!
