I Don't see why the Playstation 4 needs to be oil cooled, It's not a high performance gaming PC so it would not need to be oil cooled, its just a big waste of money.

Besides there will be no way to monitor the PS4's Temps so you will not be able to tell if its overheating ( if it even does ) Don't waste you money on something like this for a Playstation because it does not need it

you will have to replace the HDD with a SSD and mount the disk drive ouside

I wouldn't bother replacing the HDD with an SSD either the performance gains on a ps4 with an SSD are minor at best, not worth the cost.  SSHD On the other hand is cheaper and you do get noticeable performance gains.

If you put a HDD or sshd in mineral oil it will die a terrible death. That's why you'd have to replace the HDD, unless you can mount it outside the oil.
