Which oil weight and cooler core are you running?
True, but I think you are intentionally missing the point we are making here. Increased coolant radiator capacity eliminates the need of add on oil cooler and both coolant and oil temperatures would be in check, but not vise versa, if you only upgrade the oil cooling the coolant temp will be hitting boiling temperatures causing limp mode. I either run 0w-40 or 5w-40, oem oil cooler.
I run a CSF radiator as well, less failure points than running aux cores. Have done 50ish track days w/ this car so I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of this platform's cooling situation. Unfortunately, my car requires 2 oil cores along with most everyone I know who tracks their N54 car hard.

That's awesome though, wish I only needed one oil cooler core - hate all of the hose routing required for dual cores.
