Plus if i don't need it i can sell it. It's still in the box never opened it. I also have a gen111 ultra long tube intake in the box from stillen.

Your temps shouldn't be staying at 240. Try changing your shifting habits. Less engine braking in traffic and changing to a correct gear helps a lot. You shouldn't need an oil cooler at all for normal driving. The outside temp doesn't really have a huge effect on oil temp. Coolant temp maybe, but last summers 100 degree heat had little effect on oil temp. There are add on's to prevent over-cooling also. I forgot what it's called. Just read through the thousands of post regarding oil coolers.
