An auto tranny cooler may not be rated to handle the normal engine pressure level, the pressure an auto trans cooler line is not nearly as high.
My oil pressure pegs the guage at cold start up. Maybe close to 100 psi.
A clue may be Trans Oil cooler lines are usually held on with simple light duty clamps. Compare that with the fittings used in the FD's oil system.

In the UK we can use Motec oil coolers which aren't too expensive, I have the dual oil coolers but uprating them is on my 'to do' list.
I cleaned mine up using a decent sized paint brush and Auto Glym engine cleaner, they came up like new!

I got the R1 set up but I never had oil temp hookup, anyway I tap the bolt that goes to the oil filter lines, and hook up auto meter gauge, This pass tesuday in NJ (1-8-08) temp was mid 60's, so I curious to see what the R1 oil coolers does, I start up thr car let run for 1 hr in the garage oil temp climb to 200, take the car out for spin on highway and cruise around 40 mph (MODERATE TRAFFIC) and I saw it drop to 180, continued to drive to nice highway so I can open it to 130 a couple of times and still read 180, after taht I cruise at 80 and hit the need stay at 160, now I have those rearview mirror that tell u outside temp, and my sensor is right infront of the left side oil cooler, and at all times I have 54 degree reading. So end result the R1 oil coolers is worth it. I will continued to monitor more when the temp rise in NJ I will post more result.
