No it's not. Increasing the oil capacity just means that it will take longer for the oil to heat up but once it gets hot good luck getting rid of the heat without an oil cooler.

Depends on your use. On the track, probably not enough. On the street? My temps stay under control in the florida heat, even when I am boosting all over the place. My oil pan is a big, heavy, cast aluminum heatsink in addition to the extra 2 liters of capacity.
