It is a bit hit and miss regarding the block off plate. A rule of thumb is that if the outside temp is less than 60 or so F then use the plate. It is not good to run the engine over long periods with the oil below 180F.

If you have a oil cooler with a thermostatic plate. You will not have any problems down to 50F. The plate stays cracked open a little to keep oil flowing through the cooler to keep the oil warm. So that when the plate opens fully. The system is not getting shocked with cold oil. Moisture in the oil starts to evaporate at 110F. By the time it hits 180F. All of the moisture is gone. I would install a cooler cover at 50F. Higher if you want to feel safer.

If you don't have a thermostatic plate. You can make a plate out of sheet aluminum that you can duct tape or zip tie in place. I would do this at around 60F. Depending on how hard you are going to push it.

Remember, you are only dealing with 5 to 6 quarts of oil.

Madwi says we can just add a sheet of aluminum to the cooler. It's what he does to his. He has the same exact cooler.
