I have talked at great length to Hamish about this. Everyone knows that the most wear occurs when engine oil is cold - i.e. first start in the morning.
I am concerned that by developing an additional cooler this will prolong this period and rather than protecting, will actually cause more damage, particularly if you do short runs.
On the flipside if you plan to run the car on track days often then it is likely to be a good idea.
I think and I concur with Hamish on this that the use and regular change of quality oils will prevent high temp degradation, which is the purpose of the cooler to start with.
