track day/daily driver oil cooler recommendation?

Title basically says it all, im considering the mishimoto dual core. I have a 2013 gsr, and price isnt really relevant. I already have a shop for install also.

Please only comment if you have experience in this department, i dont care to know everyones favorite brand.

Thanks in advance

OEM Mitsu works just fine. Unless you're actually overheating your oil, don't bother. Over-cooling your oil is a bad thing.

The track i go to has 100 degree and up temps, and thats just the air temp. I havent tracked there yet, but people recommend an oil cooler. The oem oil cooler is good enough though?

I would monitor your oil temp before jumping to an aftermarket cooler, but that's just my opinion. I don't like to needlessly slap on parts that aren't going to be beneficial. There are many cars here in Texas that track on the stock cooler.

That cooler that is almost a must to upgrade is the SST tranny cooler.

What about upgrading your oil pan? I haven't looked into that for evo's but when I had an STi that I tracked it was a recommended upgrade. You have to do a lot more upgrading to the STi's oil system because of the flat four engine. When you corner hard one side can loose oil.
