I agree - None.

Very few engines actually need an oil cooler. Fo the vast majority of cars, the oil cooler prevents the oil from getting hot enough to work right, and it creates weight, complexty, cost, and failure points that you just don't need.

Oil is heated mostly by sustained rpm's. If you race on road courses, then you can probaby benifit from a cooler. Otherwise, don't bother.
