Default engine oil cooler anyone?

Does anyone run an engine oil cooler?
Looking for some info on how to I stall and maybe what parts to use. I have an aeroforce interceptor and the calculated oil temp stays around 200-215* once full warm. Worried it is high being as its only a calculated temp. Any info would be appreciated!

200-215 isnt really high for oil temp, and even so, its a calculated temp. I'd be far more concerned with lowering coolant temps and trans temps vs oil temps, those are the ones that matter the most.

What would be a temp I should worry about? It gets pretty hot in my area during the summer, and in 80* weather it will hit 220*. It get up to around 100* in the summer here.

When I run my car and push it on and off for while I've seen oil temps for sure as high as 225 F... but then I let off for while and let it cool down a bit... I don't push it... how hard are you driving your car?

Danger zone is 250 plus on coolant temp, and over 300 on oil temp....... your way below that.... as long as your coolant Temps are around 210ish i would not worry

Not driving hard, cruising at 70 mainly. I may get on the throttle pretty good if I have to pass someone. But I don't beat on it 24/7.

The coolant temp stays between 197*- 208* on a normal day. I'm OK with those temps for now. Lol. I plan on doing a cam swap and just want all temps to be normal before I add more stress on the motor.
