Can be true depends on a lot of stuff. Water/coolant is a lot more conductive then air and requires a lot lower delta T and surface area. The method Nissan is employing is perfectly viable for cooling the oil. The question is if they engineered it enough. AKA big enough heat exchangers etc. The answer seems to be no they did not
