The oil cooler I am using is fairly common, I believe it was used as a transmission cooler in the 1990s chevy lumnia.I think under light load in the cold they over cool the engine and I know there is no way to stop the oil flow. Then under heavy load they are just not big enough to dump much heat into a hot 110'F environment.
In the cold, it will be shut off. Under heavy load it will be backed up by the original in radiator heat exchanger.
