For those who do alot of track events, this is a mod you should consider. At POCONO, I was running oil & coolant temps close to 295 degrees! Yeah, MOBIL ONE says its good over 300, but that number is scary.
Had a guy from CCNEPA put a cooler on my car, and after some VERY hard runs on the North course and some VERY fast runs on the 2.5 mi course, the temps stayed right around 207-210 degrees, actually cooler than if I was in a traffic jam.
Rippie and the likes sell these kits, this one was a home made put together job, that started where the oil filter USED to be with an adapter and steel braided lines running up to the cooler- mounted by the radiator, and a new oil filter location off the cross member (not exposed to road rash so I think its safe there)
Total installed cost is about $750...... not too bad for the extra protection.
