Don`t know about the efficiency of the pictured oil cooler, but i'm using a 13 row Mocal unit (which is half the size of your cooler, although it's a different design) and the oil temp never goes over 120degree celsius (248 fahrenheit) even on long hispeed runs (5th gear, full throttle) on the Autobahn, and it's over 90 degrees fahrenheit over here at the moment.I think as long your using a thermostat in your oil circuit for the cooler(that allows the oil to reach temp before the cooler works) it will be ok.
