Default volvo tranny cooler in civic as oil cooler ?

Ok guys... I went to the junkyard and fould two nice looking coolers. Both are off of volvos. Both are also tranny coolers.

The one I thought about using has some pretty big inlets and outlets, AND its pretty damn beefy.

Just wondering if you guys think it would work well on my civic with a thermostat.

Here's a pic. ( or a few ). check the other pics out too if you have time, bad *** teg in that album.

Opps.. I had to change some of the setting on the "yahoo" stuff.

Copy all of the above link, then paste into your browser. "copy/paste"

I think those should work as an oil cooler. Just do a presure test, and such. This maybe a stupid question though, which is hotter Tranny fluid or oil? I bid oil, right?

tranny fluid gets hotter for sure.

And I never thought of it that way...
