This, Bob, is complete rubbish. IMNSHO.

All engines with no water cooling always have an oil
cooler. Why - to cool the oil ! And why does it need to be
cooled ? Because it gets hot. And why does it get hot ?
Because it is taking heat out of the engine !

The cooling air can only reach the outside of the engine.

I hope your statement was a typo !
