Bit of a strange question, but could I mount my oil cooler on the roof of the car?

I don't see any reason why not Colin, lots of guys running J stuff run external oil coolers, can't see much difference in your plan....

Yeah you can, just put it on there.  In all seriousness though, a lot of the MR2 guys seem to do it with intercoolers, whether it works efficiently or not I don't know..   Not seen it done with an oil cooler yet though, be the first |

I already have an intercooler and air filter on the roof, I think as long as I have a non return valve in the system, it should be ok.  |

I would be concerned with the oil cooler and lines draining down during long shutdown ie. overnight, and then the engine lubrication system running dry until the circuit is primed and presurised.
I suggest at minimum a spring loaded ball check valve on both sides at low level, just my 2 centimes.
