That sounds pretty good

"They're USD$39 and unlike the other options out there, this one actually is a thermostat and not a bypass. Andy has advised me that this will open at around 90ºC instead of the stock thermostat which opens at around 110ºC. This allows it to start circulating through the oil cooler earlier to keep the engine cooler but at the same time will allow the engine to warm up properly first."

Doesn't hinder warm up to 90c, JB4 kicks in at 80c right, then starts to cool at 90c.

My oil temp stays at 120c always, but it wouldn't actually drop the 120c temp would it, just uses the oil coolers at 90c instead of 110c.
