I would think original oil cooling method not only cools oil but also helps it warm up to operating temperature at cold starts using heat from coolant. Using air oil cooler would increase oil warmup times and might over-cool it unless you implement thermostat for oil either traditional or electric temp sensor, controller and valve.
