The oil filter housing has coolant running through and sees this before the returning back down the head so the coolant is already warm.
An oil cooler is a very good idea. Keeping oil temp in check is also good for your engine. If the oil temp gets to high it starts to lose its ability to lubricate efficiently and as the filter housing is cooled it then transfers this heat to your cooling system.

Interesting...
Would three be potential issues for the oil to be too cold in our vic winters using this?
Where the hell would you mount it?

No room there....
Do you want me to purchase the items needed then come around and find a good spot then install it for you? lol !!!!
Not sure how a top mount oil cooler would go.
Ill install it myself thanks buttercup but your welcome to buy me one

No issues.
Anything top mount will heat soak.
Sandwich plate seems to be the most common.

well, your water's ability to keep the engine cooler is impaired by the fact the engine & oil is already hot........
as has been said - very hot oil tends to loose its viscosity (ability to lubricate & ability to transfer heat around)
if you can keep the engine oil cooler, it will help the coolant in cooling down your engine temps...............
my understanding of it anyway...........
