A little bit, yes.

But, now remove the oil cooler from the car completely.  Now, drive it 
again.  Note head and oil temps, and let us know whatcha find.

I found that it doesn't change a notable amount at all.

Or, for a counter-test, remove the fan from the engine and then drive 
the car.  I've done this too, but never on purpose and never for very 
long.  Head temps SKYROCKET!

It's obvious which carries the vast majority of the heat load.

To be honest, I dunno!  Maybe someone who has stared at a couple dozen 
of them around here would know more...
