Ok, Shot a note to Think automotive, they are the manufacturer of mocal and here is the response I received.

Harold,
Thanks for your email. The design of our standard thermo sandwich plate is such that in cold conditions you should not get any flow through the cooler. All though it is an open circuit it is far easier for the oil coming out of the engine to simply bypass through the centre of the stat and not to push a cold head of oil around the cooler. It may be in some instances that you are getting a small amount of circulation around the cooler but i would have thought this unlikely.
What makes you think the oil is currently going through the cooler?
I will give it some thought and if we have any ideas will let you know.
Regards
Matt

Welcome to the home of Mocal oil coolers and components - Think Auto

Any further info I get from Matt I'll pass along. Maybe we can find out if people without an oil cooler are having the same over cool issues. I must admit this is the first car I have owned that came with an engine oil temp gauge, maybe we have all been running to cool at some point. Man, oil to hot , oil to cool, what is it with this car

Apparently he does not know his product very well, or read the Mocal statement I posted above. I've installed 2 coolers with Mocal Thermostatic plates and they've both operated exactly as described in the Mocal statement (not this guys note).

As soon as you start the cold car you will feel heat begin to build at the cooler.
