As for using it as an oil cooler rather than a trans cooler, I don't see why it wouldn't work just as well in that capacity.
Afterall, it's merely a thermal exchange unit... and I suspect the main concerns would be matching the size of the unit to the amount of heat that needs to be dissipated. B&M has coolers that are available in several different sizes to accommodate most needs. Hope this helps...
