Nor was the person who collected/presented the data. I remember initially being impressed. Since then, I can only think about how slight changes to the experiment would yield vastly tighter curves, and how stupid it was to display the oil cooler data using the same function. It's still pressure as a function of engine speed as a function of temperature. Adding the oil cooler just limited the temperature range of the data taken.

You are the clever one to see head loss contributed by the oil cooler. OP never intended it. Total accident.
And, yes, absolutely worth knowing.
