I have two 240Ds without oil coolers, never a problem even in very hot weather when on trips to the central valley of Ca in the summer. No oil cooler hoses means less to go wrong and its nice to have them out of the way for working on several things on that side of the engine. You really do not need them on the 616 engine.
