Oil cooling?

How much does cooling the oil help. Is it worth the time and money for the mod? What kind of HP jump will it give me, or will it just prolong the life of the motor?

The factory already provides one of the biggest oil coolers made on a passenger car. There would be no reason for additional oil cooling.

The Oil is responsible for 25 to 33% of the cooling in a rotary engine.

There are less than 0 HP gains by adding additional oil cooling on any car.
