Actually water is more efficent at transfering heat. Plus you can mount the heat exchanger anywhere you like , yes plumbing will be tricky.
Also coolant temp exits the radiator at around 165 degress so this will quite good for the oil temps plus you reach operating temp sooner. The oil temps will be very consistent.
