As you know VV heat rises. Old school radiators used to have the outlet on top and the inlet on the bottom- the hotter coolant left the engine and was cooled as it made its way down the core. I'm sure the same principle would apply to an oil cooler. Mounting it sideways would make the most of this effect as well, if the core were plumbed this way.
