Helpful Expert Reply:

You will most likely need to add additional transmission fluid when installing a supplemental transmission cooler such as # D13502. The cooler core itself will add capacity and the hose will add some as well. After the cooler is installed and you check to make sure nothing is leaking check the transmission fluid level as well and add fluid as needed.

Be sure to consult the owner's manual for the proper transmission fluid to use with your vehicle.
