People have different definitions of "spirited driving". If you really push the car, it will overheat even in 60 degree weather. But even if you don't, if you get stuck

People have different definitions of "spirited driving". If you really push the car, it will overheat even in 60 degree weather. But even if you don't, if you get stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on a 100 degree day, temps may elevate.

My advice would be to drive the car for a while and watch the needle. Determine if pushing the oil temps high is even a risk, given your driving parameters. And then decide if an oil cooler is necessary at that point.

If you have any aspirations to track the car, you will need an oil cooler, and it is advised that you swap to better braking fluid and racing brake pads if that is the case.
