Never needed one on my XE.
If you do want one, just make sure you fit a thermostat then it wont cool to an unnessacary level.

Its a good idea to monitor the oil temp before deciding *if* you need to fit an oil cooler and also keep an eye on oil pressure (make sure your using
the right spec oil)
*If* going for an Oil cooler it needs a stat really so there's no danger of 'overcooling' the oil
as said above most folks don't need one but if your running a fairly high spec or turbo motor and doing track days etc
its worth checking oil temp and then making a decision
Run a Laminova on mine which helps bring the oil temp up to the right level
