Default oil cooler?

Ok I had an Idea. If you were to have an AT radiator (has connections for radiator fluid cooling) couldnt you concieveably run your oil lines to it and double as a radiator/oil cooler? Istead of cooling AT fluid you would cool your oil. Anyone have anything to support that it wouldnt work?

yeah but the point would be to not have to add an oil cooler you could just get the radiator and use it for both oil and coolant.

yeah i wonder if it would cool even better than an oilcooler simply because of the size.

well a civic radiator isn't that large. but it would be cheaper, and cleaner than an aftermarket oil cooler

Ive swapped in an AT radiator from an integra so its the full width of the car up front. But even with a halfsized radiator the surface size is almost 3 times the size of an aftermarked oil cooler.
