well yes, and like most things it will continue to, until it does not.
however if it should fail fixing it is a messy & time consuming process. I was very lucky it happened at the local shops 1 km away.
Not in 2 weeks time,on the camping trip towing my trailer 500km away from home.
At least a oil / air heat exchanger if it springs a leak it does not fvk up the cooling system, incapacitating the vehicle.
however my application was more for controlling excessive oil temp while towing in summer, not for quickly getting the engine oil up to operating temp during cold north american winters.
ie a oil air heat exchanger will cool oil just fine, but it can not warm it up.
