Psi than my air compressor does on standard setting. It should hold without issue and since it is oilless it won't contaminate anything either.
Not saying detrimental. I just don't like the idea of it. Then you have another fitting that could cause other issues (leaking or such). All in all it's not that hard to remove the cooler drain it out, inspect it, and clean the fins. This my opinion and it doesn't mean much either.
