I'm not sure if the oil cooler from a 240 turbo bolts right on, you might need a longer stud for the oil filter, otherwise yes. However, I think that it would be very unnecessary on a NA car. The oil thermostat starts to open at 165 and is fully open at 190. I'm not even sure if it woudl have to open. If you want to monitor oil temps, there is a really cool factory oil temperature gauge. I just installed mine on my 83 244Ti. Should be interesting to monitor.

With tranny coolers....... what year 240 do you have?? Every automatic I have ever seen has come with a stock tranny cooler built into the radiator!!
