Hi,
I'm always looking for ways to improve performance and help the longevity of my 6. I was talking to a buddy on the Contour forums and they are using the MPV oil cooler on their 3L engines. (Same cooler that comes stock on the SVT 2.5L) It's only $150 online and all that would be needed are a couple pieces of radiator hose and some T's and hose clamps to install it. That would drop the temp of the oil to the 190-200 degree range. I read in this thread and it usually hovers around 245-260.
BTW, please don't turn this thread into an argument about dino vs synth oils and oil temps.
Here's the cooler on Montgomery Mazda's site...

It just screws in between the stock oil filter. Here's a pic of it installed on a SVT Contour...
