Default Oil cooler?

Has anyone ever tried to use the tranny cooler in a auto radiator for an oil cooler? I figured once i get my turbo i could just run a oil line from it into the radiator then to the oil pan.

the oil thats comming out of the turbo is going to be WAY hotter than the tranny fluid that was ment to be going through it.

keep that in mind

theres really no reason to, your oil isn't going to brake down fast enough to worry about it, and it cools just fine to keep cycling through the engine. Change it every 2500-3k for a turbo car & you'll be fine.

if u were runnin balls to the wall with u'r foot to the floor for hours at a time.. it would be worth doing.. but u also have to remember that more travel space lowers your over all system pressure.
