I put the SE oil cooler on my '08 Ultra. Never felt the need for an oil cooler on my two previous Electra Glides, but this one runs very hot. It certainly can't hurt, especially on hot days.
The SE installation is well done and easy to install. The installation does however require a 7/16 Allen Wrench to install the new oil filter adapter that is not easy to find at your typical hardware store tool isle. You might want to plan ahead for that if you are going to do your own installation. Other than that, it was easy to install and works well.

Quite often the MoCo chooses the low bid when contracting out for parts/oils/tires etc. and by shopping around, you can find better products ant usually ar a better price too.

I'm with Glider on the oil. The Mobil 1 V Twin oil is a great choice, widely available, and full synthetic. I have used it since is first came out. I have also used the Mobil 1 in my 4 wheeled vehicles for many years with excellent results. Most oils available today are very high quality so you are not likely to have an issue related to the motor oil.
Mobil 1 V Twin has the proper friction properities to be used in the primary case but it not recommended for the transmission. (It would probably work ok there too, as Harley says you can use their Syn3 in the transmission)
My two cents.....
