Correct, no oil/coolant heat exchanger. I have considered adding one. Also no oil cooler as far as I know.

It also has very poor low end performance despite D4-S which is supposed to help low speed combustion by using the port injector instead of the direct injector (which doesn't work as well with low tumble flow).
From experience, Toyota rev limiters seem to kick in early and hard, raising the rev limit in the FR-S would definitely make it more fun. That car really needs some more low end torque though. Not my car however, so not really my problem.
