Should a Transmission Cooler be Installed on a 2016 Honda Odyssey for Towing Just One Time
Published 02/23/2018
Question:
I need to rent a small Haul trailer 4x4x8 for a one time tow from Texas to Florida. Less than 2000 lbs. Should I install a transmission cooler? No mountains on this route.

A transmission cooler is recommended equipment for towing with a 2016 Honda Odyssey. Given the weight of the trailer it may not be 100 percent necessary but a transmission cooler has benefits beyond just towing.
Factory coolers are adequate at best so a transmission cooler will help keep the fluid cooler which in turn will help to get the most life out of your transmission even in daily driving situations. The most popular cooler for your Odyssey is # D13503. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
