oil filter cool collar

was on ebay and came across this cool collar for the oil filter. it acts like a heat sink for the oil filter. what do you think. it was a harley part at one time.

I got one a year or two ago. Haven't used it yet. Adding more area and heat sink fins have to help to a point.

I was covering the filter with an alum can anyway, just bought it.

Will black powder coat defeat some of it's cooling?

I used one on my Softail and it dropped it about 15* according to my oil bag gauge. I put an Ultra Cool my my Ultra Classic and put a hose clamp in the way or I'd still be using it. Plan on moving the clamp at next oil change. I live in S TX, any cooling is good.
