Thanks for your view Michael but I hope your 50,000 miles is a bit pessimistic, I am not that far off! There are no obvious signs of impending doom with my engine yet 🤞, oil consumption is the same as it has always been at about 1/2 litre every 3,000 miles between changes, oil pressure still 60 psi when running warm, 25 psi at idle, no "new" noises.
I know we don't get the very hot temperatures here in the UK that some areas do but excessive oil temperature has never been a big issue for me, without an oil cooler. I have an SPA oil pressure and temperature gauge that seems fairly accurate. With ambient temperatures over 30c the oil temperature doesn't go much over 110c, even when sat in traffic on idle with the Urban Cooling Kit blowing. The main problem has been getting the oil temp up to reasonable levels when the air temp is lower. I think the Urban Cooling kit will add life to the engine, as high temperatures on air cooled engines are a killer but not sure about the need for an oil cooler unless you live in a very hot climate.
