Oil temp question

slightly off topic.

All of you that added the oil cooler did you add a oil pressure gauge to monitor for leaks? I was thinking of adding one, but am I just over paranoid?

I may have spoken too soon. Temps are significantly higher with redline oil even though redline is smoother. Pennzoil Ultra plantinum seems to keep the car 10-12 degrees cooler. I did my usual "abuse run" and the temps were 225 after it all...I would really have to punish the car to get 220ish before.

No, I just did my connections properly. In all seriousness though, I check oil connections and dipstick level after/before each run on the track. On the street nothing should really happen if it's okay on the track.
