Scott, I believe that if oil was a good thing to put into the cooling system of a vehicle, the manufacturers would be recommending it.  They engineer the thing.  I wonder how the oil is distributed in the system?  It is not water soluble, and should just sit on top of the coolant in pockets, I would think.  But, I don't know much about water and oil mixtures, maybe.  I have seen systems that had oil leak into the coolant get a salad dressing like material accumulating in the radiator and coolant bottle.
