The additional oil has to have some positive affect on cooling.

According to the OP, the cooler had a capacity of 100cc. The
Owner's Manual says the engine has an oil capacity of 1.7L from dry. That's an extra 5.9%, not counting the extra in the associated lines. With such a small total capacity (my EX500 takes over twice as much oil), I'd say that adding extra oil is generally a good thing. But as stated above, don't assume without data that doing more to cool the oil is a good thing, plus there are downsides (also mentioned above) to adding more components into the oil flow.
