AC condensor as an oil cooler?
just a thought, and a quick search didnt net any results of this being discussed.
Can I use an AC condensor as an oil cooler?
main questions being
will it flow enough fluid?
will it be oil compatible?
will it hold up to the pressure? heat?
a/c condensor i have laying around

I'm leaning towards no. You are talking about a big difference in fluid dynamics. That condenser was never designed for somthing as thick as oil. Besides oil coolers can be custom ordered for any size and app you want. And for relatively cheap too. So why bother?

Yes it will work. I have seen this done before. Oil pressure is way lower than a/c pressure. A condenser is a radiator. All fluid coolers are radiators. You could use a heater core for a cooler if you wanted. It doesn't matter, it will work.
