Question Towing with bad oil cooler?

Alright guys, my oil cooler is starting to get clogged up again. I had it replaced at 79,xxx and I now have 106,xxx. So today I was towing around 15k over not so flat ground and ect varied 205-212 and eot was about 228-234. The highest the eot got was 239 and the hottest the ect got was 213, this was when I was going up a pretty long incline. On my way home I was running empty with no trailer and ect was 190-192 and eot was 206-208 going 70. So my question is, is it ok to tow with a bad oil cooler and is there a max temp for eot before I need to pull over? Im gona try to get a new one here in the next few weeks hopefully. Thanks in advance for your help guys!!

Does that have to be reset after a new oil cooler is installed?
