You dont see the problem but your engine does. Startups are the hardest part on an engine. Thats where almost all of the damage to every engine in existence starts, this is why motors that you take care of wear out. It takes a second or so to build oil pressure and in that second or so your motor is not happy. With an oil cooler that doesnt have a T-stat that time is considerably longer.
The greddy sandwich plate for an oil cooler, or a stand alone T-stat is the only way to go if your going for an oil cooler setup. Your better with no cooler than you are with an open loop cooler. Promise that your engine will last longer without that cooler if its a daily. For a track car its not as big of a deal because they arnt being started that often.
