Oil cooler through radiator
 
Okay my buddy came up with this idea that since I have a automatic radiator and there is two open nozzles on the bottom of the radiator, that I could run a oil line into those open nozzles and cool my oil through my radiator, does that sound like a good idea??? those open nozzles where for to cool the auto tranny fluid but since I converted it over to manual they are left open.

.....good question?

it dose because not only would it cool your oil but it would also increase oil capacity. the question i have is if it will cause any problems will the oil pressure. i'd imagine not but it's something to keep in mind.

it might cause pressure loss

NO. oil flows through -10an line bro.. that will restrict also trans fluid is not hot as oil.

Thats a pretty common setup and a lot of aftermarket radiators come with heat exchangers built in. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
