According to Geoff the oil cooler setup was kept to help HEAT the oil in cold climates. When they did cold weather testing the proxmity of the cooler to the radiator and the minimal flow helped the car come up to temp faster thus pass the emission testing. With the high thermo opening it was not really designed as a functional oil cooler.
