If it is a tube and fin element, it is garbage. If it is a flat plate design, it will not need a fan if placed in a good source of air flow. The cooler is really needed at high rpm. No air flow at idle is not a problem. You must first determine the need and the cause of the oil getting too hot. Cooler oil does very little to cool the heads. The heads are where most heat related failures occur.
