No you dont. In fact I have never heard of one before on a car and dont know why you would want one

no apparently you can get a remote oil thermostat that goes between the oil cooler and the oil filter. when the engines oil temp is cold it bipasses the cooler untill the oil temp is up then it opens up and lets the oil through the cooler.

SO not necessary.

By the way, are you talking engine oil or gearbox oil?
