Default Engine Oil Cooler

Hi, I have a 2019 IS350 and I'm planning to track the car soon and thinking about add a engine oil cooler. I believe this diagram is the oil filter housing for my car and seems like lots people connect two hose to filter housing for cooler. Are we able to do something similar to that? Any help would be appreciate!

On some cars the transmission overheats before the engine oil so watch for that also

You're going to overheat the transmission and the engine coolant before you overheat the engine oil. Not to say adding an engine oil cooler is a bad thing, but you'd be better served if you installed a transmission fluid cooler and a bigger radiator with some bigger fans first.
