I am not clear about how more oil capacity would bring down the oil temperature. It would make it warm up a little more slowly, but not change the final temp very much. The only effect I can think of would be that a larger filter would have a larger outside surface area and would radiate heat and transfer it to the surrounding air a little better. I doubt that this would make enough difference that would be detected easily. Data from actual measurements or other logical arguments are welcome. Larry A.
