I'm running a 3.2 in my car with only the engine-mounted oil cooler. On hot summer days (in the range of 100F), if I get stuck in stop and go traffic, the temp will get into the 240F range. I've seen just under 250 on a couple occasions where I had to sit and idle in heavy traffic. Otherwise, it almost always stays under 220F. I have thought about adding an external cooler many times over the years, but at this point I doubt I ever will because I don't think it is necessary for my driving. I don't do road track events, but I do AX. I'm not driving long enough in an AX to bring the temp up much--43 seconds or so.

Cars are for driving. If you want art, get something you can hang on the wall!
