Do oil coolers have t-stats? I'm guessing probably not.
The brilliance of water cooling is a more even engine temperature, which allows for tighter tolerances, which allows for more performance and longevity...
I get the appeal though. The KISS (keep it simple, stupid) principle. There are no solutions, only trade-offs. The trade-off for more power, etc is a more complex system.
Somehow technological evolution has favored increasing complexity. When we really start leveraging AI and analytics, things will become way more complex.
