What is this? Oil cooler?

It's located on the right side of the car in front of the radiator. My car is a 2011 and I know you guys say the cooler is from 2012.

If you track your stock 2012 Z you will need a bigger oil cooler. Otherwise you are done.

Crap! Then what was Nissan's idea of installing a factory oil cooler that doesn't resolve the issue? Am I wrong here?

Probably just to solve daily driving temps. I still remember the first or second model years, when even normal driving in warm weather produced 240+ degree temps.
