    Hello, and welcome to the forums

    It depends what you use it for really. The stock one is ok for general use though I know lots of people have fitted Mocal oil coolers etc. Quite a few peeps here trackday their cars so best wait for one of them to comment.

    As standard, mine rarely gets overly hot on a hard run.

    if you do fit one, make sure its got a thermostat else it will not get upto temp quickly and cause problems with cold oil

    Unless your driving very enthusiastically, then the standard water cooled oil cooler is fine for road use.

    If your getting rather high temperatures then you could try a higher grade oil which can handle that better as a compromise.

    What temps you getting?
