Thoughts on the MRTM Oil Filter Cap?

Been thinking about getting MRTM Oil filter Cap. According to one website it keeps ur engine oil running cooler. Curious to know by how much? Does anyone have this on there car think it's a good product or is it just a waste of money? Is there any others on the market that are better?

If it was really designed for lowering oil temps (I assume) by dissipating heat, It should have a bunch of fins on the out side to act like a radiator.
Also, the oil filter cap gets no fresh air, it is embedded in the engine behind the radiator, getting hit with hot air constantly.
My vote goes to for show only and a waste of money.

Your answer seems pretty logical...so has anyone seen temps rise? Can't believe theres no reviews from peeps that have tried this mod considering relatively its cheap makes it seem that no one has it.

boostin1004, what you have mentioned is, that is good for "looks" only.
Have you experienced any lower oil temps???
We are after the preformance of the part.
For $200 it better do something better, than just getting compliments. LOL
