Is The Process To Install a Transmission Cooler On a 2011 Nissan Rogue Different Than a 2010 Model

Question:

I know on a 2011 Nissan rogue the transmission cooler installation isnt bad. But I noticed that on a 2010 the lines are not in the same location. How much more involved would it be to install the cooler?

The 2010 Nissan Rogue and 2011 Nissan Rogue are both the same generation (First Generation), therefore the process to install a transmission cooler should be the same because they also have the same L4 2.4L engine and CVT transmission combo.

Unfortunately, we have not yet had a chance to install a transmission cooler on both models, only the 2011 model which you can see in the attached video so I would not have any exact advice for you. I did however look up the factory cooler removal process in ALLDATA and they do show the lines (lower driver side of transmission) being in the same spot as the 2010 model. If you like, you can call your local dealer to have them print these diagrams out for you.

For a transmission cooler, the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets part # D13502 is what I recommend because it is of a plate-fin design so it is very efficient and the size should provide adequate cooling power while towing.
