Yup the oil temp is more consistent with the water temp using an oil/water
cool, also the space taken up by such a unit is vastly smaller than using an
air/oil oil cooler, plus the engine oil heats up a lot faster, of course if
the car blows a hose oil temps skyrocket, and if the cooler fails you have a
crankcase full of antifreeze. The best bet would be to run but an oil/water
and oil/air oil c ooler..
