I would like to hear this as well. A oil cooler will be lucky to drop what oil is in the cooler 10 degree's from what it enters the cooler at. The oil will be pumped in and out the whole time it want have much time inside the cooler as I'm thinking to cool it down to have enough negative effect on it.
Most good cooler have a bypass installed and thermastat to make sure it only cool's it enough to stay in operating tempature. Good cooler want let cold oil run through them at start up until they reach operating temp.
