yep it never hurts to have one. Ours cars do not come with them also. GSTs to grrr... Anyway oil cooler would be a good mod if you have a turbo, if your NA I probably wouldn't worry about it. Benefits are:
Increased mileage on oil, prolong oil life
COoler Oil :P
Cooler oil means less viscosity breakdown
Cooler engine (did you know that motor oil is the 2nd coolant we have for the engine?)
I wouldn't getting one if you live in very cold places that snows a lot.
check out my website on my sig it has picture of my oil cooler. ^_^

Cool. I do plan to turbo in the future...but I think its something that can wait until after the rebuild.
