With those results I would certainly be thinking about installing an oil cooler.

Yes I suppose you could get by without a cooler, but why:
-expose all the rubber parts and hoses to that life shortening temp.
-run a higher risk of vapor lock.
-lock yourself into synthetic oil and no Mogas.
Just sayin what my thinking would be.
