All 'air cooled' engines are 'oil cooled' technically, including the Beetle.
The 911 has two oil coolers (well, from the mid '70s, anyway) - one in the right front fender, and one mounted to the engine itself.

- brc 11y agoToy airplanes do use oil, it's just mixed in with the fuel. Many water-cooled cars do have an oil cooler, but it's not the primary means of cooling the engine. In those cases it's more about keeping the oil at a constant temperature. Oil cooled cars have sump capacities 2x water cooled cars.
