Point is, if the oil cooler thermostat never opens during the driving conditions I encounter, it doesn’t matter whether the oil cooler is present.

Well, are you also the kind of engineer who understands that if a component never comes into use during certain conditions, it’s extraneous for those conditions?

Well, if I ever had any doubt about this community being sanctimonious about Mercedes engineering, all doubt is now removed!
What I don’t understand is how none of you comprehend that I’m agnostic on the necessity of the oil cooler for my operating conditions. I have never said “It is not necessary” – I asked “Is it necessary?” Do any of you understand the difference between a statement and a question?
