I don't see how there is any reason to be concerned. All you are doing with an oil cooler is adding an additional oil flow loop to the system without interfering with the original system. To account for the increased capacity you have to add more oil, but the primary oil flow of the engine never changes.

The only time a dry start would occur is if you didn't prime the cooler, and it would only happen once before you added the additional oil. After that the whole system is full and operates as it does from the factory.

Also, if you are concerned with it taking longer for the oil to heat up try using a 0w40 which will flow better when cold.
