I like people who write "smart a$$ comments"

To answer you, Yes I do know the stock air intake is a Cold air intake that is why mine is still stock. But if my chemistry knowledge is correct heat transfers goes from hot areas to cold. Therefore, heat will transfer from the hot block to all surrounding parts whether you drove forward, backward or sideways. Our engine bays are packed so there isn't many places for that heat to go but other parts. The plastic intakes do better than metal but they still heat up. Along with the maf sensors.

I don't have the tools or time to make this study. But I would like to see a test done where temperature and humidity Are constants. And the person measures oil temperature vs air intake temperatures.
