I assume that the oil passes through the capillary pipes & the fuel passes over them?.
Afaik it's the other way round. The fuel makes a single uncontrolled pass through the tubes. The oil passes around the outside of the tubes, guided by the baffles.

Oil temperature is controlled by a thermostatic valve, which allows the oil to bypass the cooler unless cooling is required.
