Does anyone think it would be possible to use a transmission cooler to cool
the Engine oil?

but take in to consideration that most transmision coolers
use the engine coolant, These are either built in to the radiator, or
connected underside of the car by water hoses etc,
if this is the system your looking at ,,there are three reasons for the
water cooled oil cooler,
1, on cold start ups, the water actually warms the oil,, as most engines are
designed to heat up very fast,
2, it keeps the oil at a constant temperature,
3, it cools the oil even when stationary in traffic,
unlike the air cooled type that relys on air flow,

Just buy a minispares 2 core competition radiator, miles better than the
standard radiator, you can then play with various thermostats then to get
your ideal running temprature,
