If you look again at my write-up, you will see that it's not the actual oil temperature, the temperature gauge I have is an oil cap, so it doesn't actually sit in the oil itself, it's in the clutch cover. It did read cooler with the oil cooler, so it's all relative.
If it isn't in the actual oil, I would argue that your data is useless then and that some other method should be used to check oil temp. It may give you some idea of the effect of the cooler, but to know if you need it you need to get actual oil temp.
