unless u're consistently seeing temps 255F and above, no need imho. id probably swap just the oil more frequently in dis case, leave the oil filter on there.

I drive aggressively in sporadic bursts. Most of the time I'm just cruising or sitting in traffic.

yah, id definitely just keep it stock. probably healthier for ur oil and engine too cause those coolers will make it much harder to reach 180F in the winter too.

That's why I'd want to run that plate that doesn't open until it hits 180°.
