Oil cooler Idea
The 2012+ cars have the factory oil cooler, however it is not adequate for spirited driving. Because it is tied to the engine coolant.
Switiching to an oil to air unit brings significant risk of oil loss Since heat transfer relies on delta temperature, why not make the factory cooler run on its own separate water loop? If the water entering the cooler is near ambient, the factory cooler should work just fine. It would need a small pump and a air to water radiator out front.
