Default Cooling Fluid: Engine Oil?
I was just thinking about liquid cooling, what would happen if you used engine oil?

Say Mobil 1 Synthetic (Because I use it in my car =p)

Pros:
No risk of corrosion
Better Heat conductivity?

Cons:
Requires stronger pump?

Would certainly require a stronger pump.

Does not have better heat conductivity, will take a MUCH stronger pump, and leaks would SUCK to clean up.

You'd need a REALLY strong setup to pump oil considering that if you get a pump that can push that motor oil it would be at an extremely high pressure. Much higher than that of a water pump.
