Right, cooliong is improved (as measured by BTUs extracted) but the oil is

Yes. Therefore the oil cooler will be hotter, therefore the delta T vs.
the ambient air will be higher, therefore the rate of heat transfer will
be increased, therefore more heat will be removed, therefore cooling is
improved by carrying more oil.
