It'd work either way BUT i'd deffo plumb an external cooler in. If GM thought it would be ok then they'd not have bothered with one to start with.

You are incorrect.

Its spelt Wrong...lol

IMO an oil cooler would be a good idea.

stick an external one on mate the c25xe oil cooler design is pants runs through a water jacket and rusts through contaminating the water giving head gasket symptoms

If its in FWD application, keep an oil cooler. The rear head gets awful warm and whilst an oil cooler won't make a massive difference, every little helps lol

If its RWD, just ditch it lol
