Low oil pressure hot lapping, oil cooler setup recommendations

exactly why i was leaning more towards getting an oil cooler first just to see if that remedies the issue, however the coolant temps weren't crazy high so it made me think otherwise. Going to try and get a oil cooler kit real soon

You can have ok coolant temps and very high oil temps at the same time

that is true, at the time i wasn't thinking about that. Usually the thought process is (the hotter the coolant temps the hotter the oil should be) however, I forget the oil temps don't drop as soon as the coolant temps do
