- Plate-Fin Cooler
- With 11/32 Inch Hose Barb Inlets
- Standard Mount
- 11W x 5-3/4T x 7/8D Inch
- Derale
11" Wide x 5-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep, efficient heat exchanger will prolong the life of your transmission and improve its overall performance. Specifically designed for Ford Tauruss with late-model, electronic overdrive transmissions.
Features:
- Prolongs life of transmission
- Improves overall performance
- Prevents heat-related failures
- Has furnace-brazed aluminum construction and 3/4" wide turbulator plates for more efficient cooling
- Includes complete mounting kit, OEM spec hose with stainless steel clamps and Insta-dapt radiator adapter
- Recommended for small to mid-size trucks and SUVs
Specs:
- Inlets: 11/32" hose barb
- Overall dimensions: 11" wide x 5-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep
- Distance between inlets: 10-1/4"
- Mounting dimensions: 4-1/2" tall by either 5-1/2" wide or 6-3/4" wide
- 1-Year warranty
Note: The Derale Insta-dapt radiator adapter fits most vehicles with 5/16" transmission lines, but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation.
One of the more popular cooling systems available, the radiator-style, plate-and-fin heat exchanger provides increased surface area so that fluids can spread out along the finned chambers to cool faster. In addition to the increased surface area, this cooler also features turbulator technology, whereby fluids are agitated continuously, not only to facilitate heat transfer, but also to prevent any undesirable drop in pressure.

1998 Lincoln Mark VIII
Have a 1998 Lincoln Mark 8 w/ 4 speed automatic which retails for no less than $ 4000.00 - Having this potential monkey on my back , I decided to invest in a trans cooler. Fabricated mounts and bolted on , used double flare connection to cooling line w/ barbed fitting ; barbed fitting @ radiator fitting. Used 2 hose clamps @ cooler, one clamp on each barbed fitting . Could only mount with fittings to left ,fluid leaves radiator , enters cooler @ top ( to reduce pump load ), comes out of bottom & returns to tranny. No trans temp. guage, but cooler gets hot @ idle, verifying cooler works . Well constructed and sturdy,easy to mount ; comes with instructions.

It’s been almost a year since I installed this transmission cooler. I would say it’s gone without a hitch, but THAT would be inaccurate. I also installed a hitch! I placed great confidence in this transmission cooler to do its job as my 2015 Honda Accord V6 served as my truck during our move this past year. Never a problem (ok, I’ll say it... It went without a hitch!).
etrailer customer service was EXCELLENT! There was a question during installation that arose from my particular model of car having a Transmission Fluid Warmer that in effect made identification of the transmission outlet and inlet reversed according to the instructions. The technician actually read and considered what I was saying, instead of just assuming the instructions applied to my vehicle. Thanks to their input, I correctly reversed the directions and got the correct solution!
BTW... I attached some pics of the correct hose routing for the 2015 Honda Accord V6. Note how you simply remove the short hose shown in the first pic, and connect the hoses from the transmission cooler! Note that I mounted the transmission cooler vertically so the hoses would reach. The last pic is showing the transmission fluid warmer (just as an FYI).

I installed this transmission cooler about a year ago. Install went easy but I did have The bumper off as I was replacing the radiator. I think my temperatures are down by about 15°. The only reason I did not give it five stars is that I probably could’ve used a larger one.

I now have had the cooler installed for 2 yrs. Works great. Recently was towing up a long grade, about 6 miles, temp stayed in a decent range the entire climb, even at a reasonable speed.

2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek
Although the website said this fit my car, it didn't. etrailer is good if you don't have to return anything. I've done a lot of business with them and have been satisfied but when I had to return this the return shipping was a third of the price of the item. Not good.

I am not sure as to how the installation was attempted however the manufacturer does show this to be a fit for a 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek with a 2.0L H4 Engine. It is specifically designed for Subaru XV Crosstreks with late-model, electronic overdrive transmissions. The radiator adapter that comes with the kit will fit most vehicles with a five sixteenth transmission line but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation. The label that we send will allow the part to be returned via UPS ground. Using our label is not required if you have a way of shipping it back that is more economical. You will just want to make sure that it is trackable.
by: Roy07/21/2019
Very easy to install! Installed on a 2014 Toyota Sienna. Installed lower right quadrant. Make sure you have an extra hose clamp to complete the installation ( if you are using the insta adapt as a hose slice) very good design!

Dodge Grand Caravan
I was lucky enough to have Etrailer install this on my Grand Caravan (they made a video). I drove 800 miles towing a 6x12 enclosed trailer with NO problems. It kept my transmission cool towing through the mountains. I have towed smaller trailers with the minivan that made it shift strange. After installation, all better.

2003 Honda CR-V
I found etrailer.com on random search in the internet after we bought our CRV and started researching hitches. U-Haul, whom I use often I use often and like very much, wanted $400 for the hitch, harness and transmission cooler. I found all three on etrailer for $200, and they delivered it quickly (and I mean quickly) and it wasl well packaged, etc. I figured I was a handy person, and thought how hard could it be? Well not only where the products high quality, the instructions clear and easy, they videos are a life savers for people who do better "seeing" a process, rather than "read" about a process. The hitch took me 20 minutes, the harness 20, and the Transmission Cooler about 45. Thank you etrailer for the pleasent experience, I am already going to order a few accessories for ouu CRV, and guess where I will be buying them! In case is was unclear, etrailer all the way.

2005 Honda Pilot
Great product and the install on my 2005 Honda Pilot was fairly easy. The only thing I needed was additional hose line.
by: Mike McG06/25/2011
2004 Oldsmobile Alero
Product was as described on the website. Installation took a few hours - no where near as easy as shown on the installation video - to install on my 2004 Alero. The challenge is that the upper line transmission cooler line is the line you have to route the cooler hoses to and mounting the cooler and getting the lines routed up to the top of the radiotr houseing required removal of the front bumper, loosening the radiator mount (from below the car - there are two wing nuts) and then CAREFULLY drilling a 11/2" hole in the plastic molding that completely covers the front upper portion of the radiator. Then you can route the hoses through the hole. I bought the optional GM fittings and that made connecting the hoses very easy.
by: Paul03/22/2022
I did not install this trans cooler myself. Installer said the supplied hose clamps were somewhat weak, and one broke during install. So far, seems to be working well, but it is still winter in Wisconsin and the hot weather/trailering test is yet to come.

2011 Nissan Rogue
The cooler itself fixed my Nissan Rogue limp problem completely fine, the installation was annoying, but nothing I didn't expect from it. The only problem I had with this product was that the hose that came with the kit was not long enough for both the return and arrival lines, I had to go to a local auto shop in order to get another hose to complete the installation.

2001 Buick Century
Installed the Derale 8000 because my 2001 Buick Century would shift hard when it got hot outside. So far i've driven it a week and it's been shifting smooth. The Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter installed easily with no leaks. I suggest getting extra hose. Needed another 12" to complete.
by: Todd I.06/20/2011
The product arrived in a timely manner and was as advertised. The product included all hardware needed to install it onto the vehicle. The only problem I had was identifying the transmission lines and determining which line was the hot side and which was the return side. This was no reflection on the product, but more detailed installation instructions would have been nice. The installation videos on the website contributed greatly to my decision to purchase the product.

2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
My tranny fluid was running hot on my 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP. The transmission on these cars is known to not be able to handle the power of the engine too well so I wanted to do anything to help it out. I had this cooler installed to supplement the factory cooler.
I am not towing anything so a large cooler isn't a necessity. So far, this cooler is working as I expected, keeping the fluid below 200 degrees with the temperature outside above 100! Though a larger cooler would probably get the temp closer to where I'd like it, there is not much room in the engine compartment for something much bigger on my car.

2015 Subaru Forester
Looks like its well made but hose is only about half of what I will need as this does not just enhance the build-in cooler but must be connected all the way back to the transmission from in front of the radiator. Install will be in a 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i.

See what our Experts say about this Derale Transmission Coolers
- Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2005 Toyota HighlanderAdding a transmission cooler to a vehicle that is going to be towing is a really great idea. Especially if the vehicle wasn't equipped with any type of tow package. Often times the factory transmission cooler is barely adequate when not towing so when you are towing a cooler will do an excellent job prolonging the life of it. The Derale part # D13501 would be a really solid option that's confirmed to fit. Also the etrailer hitch part # e98857 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for...
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Cooler for a 2010 Honda CivicThe transmission cooler I recommend for a 2010 Honda Civic (Automatic Only) is the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13501 which will offer more than enough cooling capacity. That said, aftermarket transmission coolers are not usually vehicle specific so you just need to find one that is the right size for the space you have available.
view full answer... - Recommended Class II Trailer Hitch for Towing Small Utility Trailer w/ 2008 Subaru ForesterThe Curt Class II trailer hitch you referenced, part # C12038 has a 3500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight capacity. If you'll only be using the hitch for towing a trailer, it should work just fine for you. However, if you're wanting to use the hitch as an attachment point for other hitch mounted accessories like a cargo carrier or a bike rack, it wouldn't be the best choice. Curt's warranty requirement state that all non-trailer loads need to use a stabilizing strap, like part # 18050. The...
view full answer... - Transmission and Power Steering Cooler Options for a 2006 Honda Pilot Towing 1520 Pound TrailerIt is always recommended to follow the instructions of the manufacturer, in this case Honda, but adding a transmission cooler and power steering cooler is always a good idea. When towing, the added weight puts more stress and strain on the transmission and power steering components. Adding coolers will extend the life of these components by keeping them at their optimum operating temperature. For your 2006 Honda Pilot and the trailer and ATVs you plan to carry, I recommend going with a...
view full answer... - Recommended Size Transmission Cooler for a 2007 Nissan Altima with CVTThe Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D13501 would be a good size for a 2007 Nissan Altima so this is what I recommend. It comes with everything that you need for installation as well. I can't really speak of this vehicle or transmission combo specifically but reducing the transmission fluid temperature via a more efficient transmission cooler will help prolong the life of the transmission.
view full answer... - Will a Bigger Transmission Cooler Fit on My 2015 Nissan Rogue?Both transmission coolers parts # D13503 and # D13501 work for your 2015 Nissan Rogue SV. Transmission coolers aren't vehicle specific so I always suggest to get the biggest cooler you can fit. The bigger cooler has more surface area to cool the transmission fluid and there is no problem with having cooler fluid. You need to test and see if there is enough room for the bigger cooler to be installed. To test the fit, I suggest using cardboard and making a mock up cooler. The dimensions...

This would be an excellent choice for your vehicle and will install in front of the air conditioning condenser, see drawing at right for best location, as long as there is space available.

- Hitch With Most Weight Capacity and Transmission Cooler For 2020 Chevy Equinox With 2.0L EngineThere is not a way to raise the towing capacity of your 2020 Chevy Equinox 2.0L unfortunately. I took a look at the owner's manual and the weight capacity of your Equinox is 3,505 lbs but you also have to take into consideration the gross combination weight rating that Chevy has set for the Equinox of 7,694 lb. That is the combined weight of the vehicle itself including cargo and passengers and the trailer you are towing. The best option is to tow the heavier trailer with a different vehicle...
view full answer... - Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2003 Acura MDXAuxiliary transmission coolers will not usually look like factory transmission coolers. The Derale Transmission Cooler # D13501 that you referenced will work for you and I would recommend you install it downstream from your factory controller, meaning that the fluid will go from your factory cooler to the # D13501 and then back to the transmission. This kit comes with everything you will need to complete the installation. Check out the FAQ articles and installation video for this product...

CamperI did some research on your 2020 Toyota Highlander L, and it looks like your vehicle is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. With this tow capacity, you will be able to safely tow without the need of a transmission cooler for your 4,000 pound trailer. As always, I recommend confirming with your owner's manual for the most accurate weight capacity rating. However, if you wish to extend the life of your transmission, I do recommend a transmission cooler like the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin...
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Coolers for 2012 Chevy Traverse Pulling 3700 lb CamperTowing in mountainous areas can be hard on a transmission, so installing a cooler is an inexpensive way to provide protection. The most efficient place to install a transmission cooler is directly behind the grille, in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. We recommend measuring the available space in this area, and then choosing the largest transmission cooler that will fit. The # D13501 is a great choice, but if you have the available space, I would go with the # D13502 which measures...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation For 2017 Kia SorentoThe transmission cooler I recommend for your 2017 Kia Sorento, due to its efficiency, is an 8000 Series from Derale: - Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13501 This is a plate-and-fin cooler, which means it uses smaller plates that cover more area than other coolers in order to agitate transmission fluid. Because you cannot over-cool fluids, the rule of thumb with transmission coolers is that size matters so the large 11" wide x 5-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep Series 8000...
view full answer... - Recommended Engine Oil Cooler for 2009 Toyota TacomaUsing a thermostatic engine sandwich adapter for an oil cooler set-up is recommended for those who live in areas that get cold temperatures in the winter. A thermostatically controlled cooler would allow your engine to heat up to normal operating temperature more quickly than one without a thermostat. Since Derale does not offer a single-circuit oil cooler kit that includes the thermostatic sandwich adapter, you will need to purchase it separately. I would recommend the # D15730 sandwich...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 1990 Chevy C/K Series PickupIt sounds like you're speaking of the Derale # D13501 which measures 11 x 5-3/4 inches and the Derale # D13503. A larger cooler will offer more surface area for the heat exchange, so when it comes to transmission coolers bigger is typically better. Unless you live in a climate that's consistently below freezing for much of the year, saying that you can't overcool a transmission is a pretty safe statement. The most efficient spot to mount a cooler is directly behind the grille in front...

The kit comes with a 11/32" diameter transmission hose that is designed to be used on vehicles with 5/16" transmission lines. When we installed this cooler on a 2008 Ford Escape with the 2.3L I4 engine, we did not need any adapter or special fitting outside of what is included in the kit as it had 5/16" transmission lines. However, it was a different...

For a brake controller I recommend Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller, # 90195. This is one of our most popular brake controllers and the easiest to use and setup. To wire the Prodigy brake controller on your 2006 Honda Odyssey you will need to have a 4-Pole trailer connector on your vehicle. Then, you will have to hardwire the brake controller...

You could use the D13502 that you were looking at, but it may be a bit big or cumbersome to fit and install easily. I would probably use the Class II, part # D13501 from Derale. It is a bit smaller, 11 inches wide, 5-3/4 inches tall and 7/8 of an inch thick. Make sure you have room either in front or behind your radiator for this cooler to lay flat against. I have also added a link to a video of a cooler being installed...

What I did was look up the recommended coolers for the 4.8 liter engine for the 2008 Silverado to get an idea of what we recommend for that engine size. The most popular cooler for the 4.8 is the Derale Transmission Cooler, # D13502, and GM fitting, # D13035. The cooler is listed for a load of up to 3,500 pounds. Before deciding on a cooler though it will be a good idea to...
