I've therefore upgraded the stock oil cooler with the VK Motorwerks kit and a Setrab core. Now the oil temps never reach 130.

I find that odd, because I didn't think that the VK Motorwerks core was that much bigger than stock. Oh, well, At least I know for sure that it will be cooler than my last setup which was just the AR oil cooler.
