Coolant temps are not a problem in these cars and the decrease in airflow over the radiator caused by something like an oil cooler will not drastically affect the radiator function. The other thing you should remember is that the hotter the oil, the hotter the coolant. Oil is the hottest fluid running through the system so if you cool that down, you are going to see cooler water temps as well.
