Some car engines don't have oil coolers. But the ones that do I'd not add anything that could interfere with the cooler's operation. An engine oil cooler is rarely fitted as cosmetic feature...

I know much has been made about the couple of freak incidents (and at least in one case questionable as to what really happened) pertaining to a damaged oil cooler but if I felt a car needed that kind of jury rigged oil cooler protection on a drive home from the dealer I'd probably not buy the car.

Or arrange to ship it and fit a oil cooler guard before putting a tire on pavement.

Again and for a 2nd time you are just talking out of your ass.

The oil cooler under the car is the auxiliary oil cooler, there are other oil coolers that do the main cooling. You literally do not ever need that bottom oil cooler when driving on the street. It can be fully removed at the supply lines with no negative effect.

You really don't have a clue...maybe you need to be posting in the M8 forums.
