Default Cooler swap

I just received my tru cool and im installing it Sunday. It says on the box that its for transmission fluid only. My question is would there be an issue using my stock tranny cooler for an engine oil cooler? Thanks

I dont see why it wouldnt work.. Ive been thinking about a oil cooler for when i put the turbo on.
Just make sure you flush it out good and get all the ATF out of it before hooking it up to the Engine oil.

Yeah, I will clean it real well and it is due for an oil change so I will do that after I install it. Should hold one more quart or so as well. Its going to be a nice little project, I am doing all hard line and fittings, no rubber.

What about pressure differences on a engine vs trans? Would that become an issue using a trans cooler in a engine app?
