Default 2005 S2000, does it have a factory oil cooler?
I do not believe my stock 2005 S2000 has a factory oil cooler (sandwich plate that connects to the coolant system). If it does not have the factory oil cooler, should I install a factory oil cooler?

It does, coolant runs through those 2 big rubber hoses connected to the plate where the oil filter is screwed on to.

Yes you should install one if it's missing.
It does not only cool but maybe more importantly helps to get the oil up to temp faster.

Thanks so much for the photo, I did not realize these coolant hoses are also incorporated into the oiling system.

We call it an oil heater.

it doesn't cool as efficient as a real oil cooler but yes leave it there.
