Not that I know of. If you did though it could hurt your mileage and efficiency. Diesels like to be hot. If you cool them down you make it harder for them to burn the fuel. That why the 203 thermostat is a good mod. Gets more heat in the engine.

"High oil temperature in excess of 240°F (115°C) will break down petroleum oils and cause oxidation, which in turn forms deposits, varnish and increases wear.
Low oil temperatures will cause formation of sludge, which can block oil passages."
Since the oil coolers on our truck's keep the engine oil regulated to the same temperature of the coolant you should be just fine unless you reach an overheat condition.
