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.

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.

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.
