If anything you will have to underclock your CPU for it to function effectively.

Oil cooling cools worse than air cooling.

Once you even consider getting something like a pump to move the oil, it is time to move to water cooling, or at least air cooling.
Incorrect. Mineral oil actually is more heat conductive than air, so it is better, not worse. This thread about cooling your PSU has a link to a project...the third page has the coefficients...

Thermal Conductivity (W/m-k) Mineral Oil ~.133 Air ~.024 Water ~.58 Copper ~400
