John,
I do have an external oil cooler. It is located on the inside of the engine lid. The fan exhausts the air into the engine compartment. Which really isn't a great solution but it has worked for years.
The engine/ car is driven no less than three times a week.
The oil is Brad Penn 20-50 Syn.
The oil cooler appears to be fine with no debris.
Oil pressure cold is ~60psi at idel. At temp the pressure is less than 20 but greater than 10psi. The gauge does't give good detail between that range. The oil pressure light has never came on. It comes on around 8psi.
No smoke or burnt oil smell.
Thanks,
Russell
