Hi dj2020.

These oil regulators are used on the WRX STIs (turbo) and the Forester Turbo Diesels so I think the regulator probably does enough heat transfer. The question is whether the radiator can dispel that much heat. The answer is that you should try it and see. Get a cheap OBD2 reader and log the results to see if it is working (and hopefully publish them here for other people).

A good trick is as soon as you have finished driving hard turn on the Air Conditioner as it will engage both the radiator fans and you will be able to dispel much more heat whilst moving slowly.

Cheers
