I have seen Aeroquip and Fluidyne coolers that do the same thing. I think as
long as you have capacity (not the tigers) they are an excellent way to go.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] oil coolers
Interesting with all the
chat about oil coolers. My nephew had one of the
1st generation MR-2's. It
had an oil cooler that was integral with the
cooling system. Basically there
was a bulge in the radiator hose... (really
a radiator pipe). The oil passed
through and transferred heat to the
cooling system. This leaves me to ponder
three things:
1. Apparently Toyota had no problem with the oil adding to the
heat load of
the cooling system.
2. Apparently 220-250 degree oil can benefit
from a quick pass by 180 degree
coolant.
3. This system actually brings oil
up to temp faster adding to fuel mileage
and at least from a cold start, more
power.
4. I'll add a fourth. Why did my nephew replace the motor (and then
immediately replaced it again when that one was bad)? I told him to check
for
the oil cooler in the first place (which did proved to be bad)? I guess
because back then he wore his cap backwards. Come to thing about it, it
wasn't the cap, it was his head that wasn't screwed on straight!
