cool oil

if i were to get one of these radiators with a built in tranny cooler in it, would it be possible to flow my oil through it instead? i run a manual tranny and it would make those radiators worthwhile.

trans oil wants to be heated thats Y its in the hot radiator and ^ as was said the flow would be restricted - rad trans cooler hose 3/8 inch -- most oil coolers use 1/2 inch or larger -jz

do you really beat on your car that much that it needs an oil cooler? Ive got a reputation for beating the everliving crap out of my car and ive never had any oil issues. might not be worth the trouble.

im throwing a high hp engine in my camaro and was just thinking how convenient it would be, i knew it wasnt going to beat an oil cooler but it would all fit together better. thanks for the info.
