[Fot] Oil cooler yes or no?

[Brian Schirano]

I think it's common / best practice to run the oil coolers, I don't think I know anyone without one.
But what kind of oil temps does everyone see? I heard 250  from someone, I think I am seeing 230-240-250 in the GT which gets run harder. Summer ambient temps in the NE around 80 26A GT6+, 28 TR6Brian Schirano

I run an oil cooler on my six and have a cover over it on cooler days. I'm 
in the NW where it rarely hits 90°.
