Supposedly, dropping the oil temperature by 40 F, will double the life of the engine.  If they go 80,000-100,000 miles, stock, before needing an overhaul...  An oil cooler could potentially double the life:  160,000-200,000 miles before needing an overhaul!  If your engine is not water-cooled, an oil cooler is almost as good.

I know the life expectancy of my water-cooled Voyager, is 300,000+ miles.  I hope it is the last bike I buy, as it currently has 57,000 on it.  I hope that the oil cooler gives my Honda a life-extension in the 150,000+ region.  It would be quite a testimony of Honda's engineering skills!  Cheers!
