oil coolers

Folks:

I am new to this game, but I am very impressed with the amount of
knowledge that seems to be out there on the web.  I am in the process of
getting a Lotus 51A ready for racing.  It has been suggested to me that
with modern oils, oil coolers are not really necessary as with a cooler
the oil hardly ever gets up to temperature.  I understand that from the
same source that modern oils can withstand a higher temperature
anyway.   Any opinions please?
