A lot of kinds of cars don't run any kind of oil cooler and you can go overboard on the oil cooling. Having too cold of oil isn't a good thing. It depends on how the car is driven also and how much you change the oil. I have seen multiple motor ruined because the owners tried to increase their oil cooling, but none of them were DSM motors. I like to get rid of the horrid sandwich cooler on DSMs and goto a 1990 setup or a aftermarket core with the 1990 filter housing, just to get rid of the dangers of the 1 bolt that holds the sandwich cooler on backing off.
