I have a doubt on the Thermostatic / Non-Thermostatic Adapter..

I understand this is to prevent oil from flowing through the cooler until it reaches certain temperature..

I live in Panama, Central America, which has warm/hot weather year-round.. Temperature never falls below 72-73°F and this is at night time. During the day temperature is always around 90°F on average..

My Z is daily driven and I don't track it. I would be interested in the 25-row cooler. Do I still need the thermostatic adapter? Or would I be OK with the non-thermostatic one?

Also, what is the Protective Hose Wrapping?

Thanks!
