After having a good blast last night and killing my brake discs i also noticed my oil temp was getting to 120 degrees, Question is do people run oil coolers and if so where have you mounted it?
Location: Trying to pull a 10 second 1/4 mile running a standard 2.0ltr engine...

You shoudnt need one on a road car unless you drive it like you stole it all the time,but if you are going to fit one then make sure you fit a thermostatically controlled cooler as this will keep the oil at optimum running temps no matter what the ambient temps are,very important in this country as we have a lot more cold weather than hot.

not true matey, some cars run hotter than others. My classic hit 105 degrees with a spireted drive (private road fo course ) during a hot day, it peaked at 110 even when i backed off at 105. That was 6 years ago and 20,000 miles ago (when i sold it it anyway). It's not a problem if they do as long as you dont let them get too hot.
Scoobyclinic oil cooler kit went on, including thermostatic control, and i never say anything above 90 after that.
They come with a factory oil cooler as standard where the sti model didnt, Not sure if it is an uprated one as there isnt a standard one if you know what I mean...apart from the spec-c models.
