I use the LPE adapter. It comes with ports for a temperature guage and a return line from say a turbo. Then I use an integrated oil cooler in my radiator.( Ron Davis)
Ron Davis also makes serious heat exchangers that I would recommend. 7, 14 and dual 14 plate exchangers for serious cooling of hot fluids. In the Arizona mid day sun in dessert racing they drop oil temps 100*.
The integrated oil cooler in the radiator drop temps 30-40* and is a win win situation with the radiator providing 20% better cooling than factory in the first place.
