Sure, there's a restriction to flow when you add a cooler and all the necessary fittings. This isn't a problem unless the clearances in the motor are so loose that it flings oil off the crank faster than the pump can move it. Expect a 15 psi drop. I would rather have 35 psi of proper temp oil than 55 psi of too hot oil.
