Moreover, the oil cooler isn’t blocking much of the radiator.
I guess saturate was poor choice of wording. When I had an oil cooler in the very front I noticed that in traffic it contributed to not only raising my iat but also heated up the air in front of the rad.

When you're moving at speed I doubt it'd present an issue
