That sounds good to me but if that was true then the temperature should raise to 90deg+(194f+) quite quickly when the car is stationary and not getting the air flow through the cooler?

I'm not understanding the question...?

I THINK this is the answer... The thermostatic plate is set to 180f
When cold, about 10-20% of the oil will run through the oil cooler, and 180f is 100% of the oil passes through the cooler.
So from cold to 180f the thermostatic plate allows from 10-20% oil pass through to 100%

I hope that made sense
