Default I have an idea/thought on oil issues???

Has anyone installed an oil cooler or something along those lines or have any ideas like that? Maybe a turbo-after oiler? I'm just thinking of ways that will minimize our chances of having oil sludge in our engines. Other than frequent oil changes using synthetic and allowing your turbo a proper cool down time, wouldn't an oil cooler or something along those lines help us? Has anyone tried this yet or heard of anyone that has? Just curious...

Its not that the oil gets too hot, it is that some of the oil cooks in the turbo itself, especially at shutdown. We should be fine, as long as synthetic oil is used.
