Just wondering if there is any benefit from running the factory oil cooler? GM stopped putting these on the 97 camaros(maybe other years) there must be a reason for this, such as no benefit? What are your thoughts?

 

The only advantage I see is that it will have a thermal equilibrium on all its fluids. You are cooling a 220 F oil with 190F water??? It would be a good idea to run cooler water there...
