2nd oil cooler.

I was chatting to a fellow RVer and he mentioned that he has 2 oil coolers to help with his high oil temps, he has a shutter control on the 2nd cooler and he can control the oil temp to what he wants. He did a 3” whole on the baffle above the cly 3.
I was thinking of doing that to mine. I run hot oil temp in the summer. Any comments about this setup?

That sounds like a bandaid for some other problem.
Knowing your configuration details would help but if it's a stock setup I would start by looking at the baffling and perhaps check the timing.

Just add a Lycoming viscosity valve and spring and see if that doesnt fix everything for you. Very, very effective at dropping oil temps. Many threads.
