I'm still interested to know how much heat the air picks up when passing through a radiator.  I realize that this can vary quite a bit, but I just don't have a feel for how hot the air gets.  If it's 80 outside, does the air exit the back of the rad at 90, or 190, or?  Someone should really make an instrument with spare temp sensors that we can use to measure these things :-)
 
Cheers,

I'm pretty consistently seeing a 20 C oil temp drop over my stock oil cooler. Inlet opening about the smallest cross section of the cooler (width x thickness), with a straight wedge to the far end.
