oil cooler lines through radiator?

[LS1PUSSOUT]

well i have a radiator for an automatic transmission. it has two ports for the transmission lines in the end tank. a buddy was saying i could run oil lines through it and use it as an oil cooler. is this true? any potential harm from doing this?

I dont see what harm could come from it,my next fox will have the power steering lines ran into the radiator.

Considering that the coolant is going to be 190-210* around that. I see no point in using it as cooler for the oil.

yea but the same ports are used to cool the transmission. i think if it could keep the tranny from overheating, it should help to keep the engine cooler too. I could even run an additional external cooler with fan later on if i wanted

well i found that it works well to cool the oil, but im just going to use a manual radiator and buy an oil filter relocation kit and do a seperate external oil cooler with fan.
