Question:
Is this a good cooler for my 2006 Saturn VUE 3.5 L 4WD?
asked by: Steve L
Expert Reply:
Although the Derale # D13611 transmission cooler would work well with your Saturn Vue, we typically recommend using the largest cooler that will fit behind the grille of your vehicle. The ideal mounting location is directly behind the grill, in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. Because a transmission cooler allows airflow through it, there is not a worry that it will block or hinder the operation of the radiator or condenser behind it.
A larger cooler like part # D13502, which measures 11 by 7-1/4 by 7/8 of an inch thick would most likely still fit in the available space and would provide more cooling. You cannot overcool a transmission.
