I received some preliminary information about oil flow rates in Lycoming engines which was stated as 5 gal/ min.  The other list had a thread where it was stated that the flow rate of the 13b oil pump was 9.5 gal / min @ 6000 rpm.  How would play out in a scenario where an aircraft oil cooler was used in place of the Mazda unit?  It would seem that the AC cooler can adequately cool 5 gal/min while the mazda unit can cool 9.5 gal/min.  If 2 A/C coolers where used would the two scenarios be equal?  Just thinking out loud any thoughts?  Thanks
