Of  course you're right about the Offenhauser oil pan AND while they look 
pretty  they are pretty expensive. I couldn't say if the polish helps with 
the cooling  or not. If your temp sender isn't getting a true reading, why 
don't you stick  it somewhere where it will?

I still say that mounting a  larger remote oil cooler from a nice big car 
or truck purchased  from a wrecking yard is more efficient and cost effective 
don't you  agree?

I use a aluminum oil pan, ( Offenhauser  polished)  it holds one  more 
quart, and being down it the air  stream helps.  My temp sender in is  the 
lower 
side of the pan,  so its not a true reading,  Around town in stop  and go 
150  
degrees and on the freeway 140 degrees !  The air flows  helps  draw the 
heat.

Polished LOOKS pretty but reflects heat, does not conduct it away from the  
pan.  Try a matte-black finish, however you can get it (fine spray,  
anodizing, whatever.)
