Yeah, the rotary makes a lot of heat, and the oil actually does a lot of the cooling. It sprays into the inside of the rotors, then drops into the sump.
The oil pumps picks it up and sends it thru both coolers, then the filter, then back to the bearings and rotors.....

Since the radiators are kind of exposed to the elements make sure to check them every time you check the oil for cracks or bends. It isn't uncommon for a rock to get up there and do some damage in an RX-8
