You could, but why?

Cooling oil, for it to dump back into a hot pan of it.

I figured it would lower the overall oil temp and allow for a larger oil capacity without running a bigger pan

Suppose you could, but I think it would be more beneficial to run the cooler before main engine feed not turbo.
