[quote=Tyler Townsley]Couple of things to remember.
1. The oil cooler has a thermostat that does not open until 230 degrees so unless you reach that temp or have the thermo changed it does not matter what you do to the cooler.

The oil thermostat opens at about 185 degrees. Take a slow (60 - 70 mph) highway drive in 6th gear on a cool night and the oil temp gauge will stay between 182 and 188 the entire time.
