In the linked thread...

In high summer in South Texas I see temps around 220F on track with a dual-rad oil cooler, I strongly doubt anyone running a standalone oil cooler is going to exceed that.
Yet the data we see here clearly shows temps near 250F with an oil cooler...
It's not my data so I can't directly vouch for it, but clearly they did see a significant reduction in oil temperatures with the cooler, down from ~275F without.

Based on the chart you posted, it's pretty clear that pressure is nearly double with an oil cooler given a hot temp of 220F.
???
CLEARLY they were running temps up to 250F with an oil cooler, vs. 275F without, so pressures at those operational temperatures are what should be compared.
