The only response you're likely to get are questions. Mainly concerning whether it's an A4 or an M6 car.
Even then it could be climate dependant. If you are in a hot climate there would be justification for engine oil cooling. Or are you talking trans cooling?

I have an oil cooler built into my LG supercool radiator. It keeps the oil temp below 200 no matter how hard drive the car. That is based on my old h/c 346. We'll see if the 402 developes more heat, and makes a better case for having it. Without the oil cooler the oil would get into the 220's, or even 230's if I was pushing her on the highway over and over, or if I did a couple of back to back high speed runs. 0-180 ish, the oil temp would jump, but after the new rad w/built in oil cooler, it never got anywhere near the 220/230's. I'll report back with oil temps on the 402 after I drive it home from Texas later this month or early next month
