Default Dual purpose radiator??

This may seem strange but Im no mechanic, I just play one on H-T,....or was it t.v.......never-the-less....... since the stock automatic style radiator has the place for the oil to go through it,..... could you use it on a 5speed to cool the engine oil?? Would it help any??

The cooler in the auto radiator is for the trans. I'm not sure if I would trust usining it, especially since it would involve using trans lines as engine oil lines.
