I did add a SPAL fan with a toggle switch, so I can turn it on whenever. I only need it in 100+ degree days on a long drive. I did a DE at Barber Motorsports in Birmingham, AL. It was only in the mid 90s but pretty sweaty. I never need the fan as my oil temp was 210 and just fine.

I am not personally familiar with the SFS cooler. If indeed the European 3.2s came with just a trombone, the upgrade will be a nice drop in oil temps.
Just FYI at least some of the USA 1984 Carrera 3.2 came with the 28 brass tube front oil cooler (mine did) like the later SC cars. I’m not aware of any coming with the trombone oil coolers though.
