I cannot say for certain if you are losing any. We can figure on nismo13807's measurement being accurate enough to use... but I still dont have any exact measurement on the oil pan spacers. If they are a full 1" thick, they would displace 1.1 quart. You would be able to tell easily if your oil pan is at or lower than your crossmember.
As for oil temps, I cannot imagine noticing it at all. Oil capacity only acts as a buffer and slows down how quickly the oil system can gain or shed heat. I imagine that without adequate oil cooling, an extra half quart will only be able to slow oil temp for a few brief moments.
