Rusty,
Maybe I'm not understanding something here, but don't you want to run the oil 
cooler outlet to the engine oil galley?  As I understand Mazda oiling system 
is the rotary doesn't feed oil internally.  In other words, the oil gets drawn 
up from the pan into the pump, then out through the front cover and into the 
oil cooler, then out of the cooler and into the filter.  From the filter it 
finally goes to the bearings and rotors, and drains back into the pan.  So, if 
you run the cooler outlet back into the pan, aren't you bypassing the filter 
and bearings/rotors?
