'Tis true,
If the cooler is always in use it is detrimental to the engine as
descrtibed.
However if you also fit an oil thermostat, you can ensure that the cooler
will only get used when/if the oil temp. climbs above say 70C.

It depends on where you live. If you live where it's very hot and you take
long drives it could be of value. But if you live where it's cooler it could
be a detriment as the oil won't get hot and all the water and other nasty
things won't boil out thus providing a sludgy oil
