no need for the cooler unless you pull long hills or keep the pedal to the metal all the time...... just additional cooling for the oil under harsh conditions.... think of of it as an added safety buffer zone to keep the oil thicker.

Stick with the stock layout and you will not be disappointed. It's there for not one but at least two purposes.
