You will only need an oil cooler if your oil temps are running over 100 deg centigrade. You will have to flush out the pipes and cooler everytime you change your oil and will need to prime the system before starting your car for the first time

Blimey, looking at going down this oil cooler road - dont think I've got much choice if track days are on the cards....but hey...

Do people with these really flush the oil out of the pipes and rad each time and then prime before running (how do you easily prime a rad fitted to a sandwich plate)?
