I like heat exchangers except when they spring a leak and xfer water into the trans or engine. Like my Nissan Frontier could have had. A few years ago Some folks were complaining on the forums about Pepto-Bismol (pink) transmission fluid. I installed a small trans cooler to preclude any issues. Around a year later my radiator started leaking from the two trans ports I purposely left open. Saved me from buying a new transmission. |
It’s a thermostat that routes most of the
oil back to the engine when oil is cool, and routes it to the usual modal “chin” cooler when temps get up in the 100c neighborhood. Cool part is that on cold days the oil still gets to 100c...
