the clue is in the description dude, it cools the oil, stops it boiling, so it lubricates better

fits by a sandwich plate on the oil filter. simple really

fit an oil temp gauge and see how hot your oil gets, worth it on a high reving engine, try just fitting a standard c20xe oil cooler.

im in the process of fitting one on mine, just going to get some pipe made up.

as it says mate it'll cool the oil, thus you can push it to more boundaries without it dying

fairly pointless on an XE corsa tho as the sump hangs so low. ive done numerous trackdays with no problems without one.
