Long term effects of not having oil cooler?

What are the long term effects, if any, of NOT having an oil cooler?

I live in a climate that is not very hot other than for maybe three months out of the year and so far I haven't seen my temps go past 240F. I'm sure during the hotter months I will see 250+ sometimes especially when driving it harder. I know the difference in oil temperature is moderate between having and not having n oil cooler (maybe 10-15 degrees difference?) but are there any long term negatives to running slightly hotter oil over a long period of time?

Nothing. I still don't have an oil cooler and I am very heavily modded and have had zero issues. I do plan to add one down the road but just haven't had the funds/need to do it yet
