Yes I thought that may be the case but wasn't sure.
I would think a constant load like a generator would be a good reason to have an oil cooler. Or maybe the engine is de-rated enough at the power output it's working at to not need it.
My OM616 has no oil cooler. I wonder how rare those oil filter housings are?
