I have been considering using a 13 row oil cooler as an auxiliary radiator. One thing niggles me slightly about this though....

Surely the cooler was designed for hign pressure oil, so by flowing water through it at low pressure and at a reasonably high flow rate would require a radiator of completly differnt fin to core radio/designs would it not?

Or am i thinking this over too much?

Cheers Guys

Don't - oil coolers do not work as water radiators! It would not be anything like as efficient as a heater matrix or bespoke rad.

Dan, why not use a heater matrix for this job buddy?
