I'm not sure what you're referring to about the oil temp and pressure on the canbus. Our cars stock do not have an oil pressure sensor. There's no reported oil pressure.
One thing to keep in mind is that, the oil temperature you measure is not the temperature the oil is at when it's at the bearings. The oil gets hotter than what you measure. What temperature? hard to say.
Back to the first point, in our eyes, the best option is to have lower oil temperatures and not cause extra resistance in the oiling system.

Is it all resistance that's causing it? I assume the added volume would be a factor as well. That's what I think, I don't know.
