VaderSS,
The study is probably accurate. It was the average of three gas and three diesel engines instrumented engines in three different labatory settings and done by three different sets of engineers/researchers.
How can you say oil temp percentages are 0% when after driving you can prove for yourself that oil temps rise by touching the dipstick. The oil is removing heat from the engine.
Sure different engines in varying vehicles will differ slightly, but I would say not too far off
from what was reported.
In the same text, on the lubrication section, it says, "A large part of the friction losses appear as heat in the coolant AND OIL which must be removed in the radiator and oil cooler system. Thus, friction losses influence the size of the coolant systems." So engineers have to know the friction losses + the conducted heat in order to determine the size of the cooling system.
