I'm happy you feel confident that you 'debunked' a well engineered factory component, which many manufacturers use on both F/I and N/A applications. Maybe you should let them know.
The factory cooler is an oil cooler. It's not there to heat up the oil.

I'm just trying to help people not to buy something they don't need, due to misinformation. Lot's of people here locally (who don't need an oil cooler at all) installed the factory solution because they thought it would heat the oil up faster - sure it does... 4 more deg after about 5 mins. That's waste of money in my book.

If you have other data that suggest otherwise you should present it.
