Question:

Hello, I bought this transmission cooler from you guys about a year ago. Just getting around to installing it. Once the cooler is added do I need to top off the transmission fluid to make up for the added hoses and cooler? 2015 Honda Odyssey Thanks!

Thanks for the purchase of the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13502 for your 2015 Honda Odyssey and yes, it is a good idea to top off the fluid. It isn't going to be much, of course, and what you should do after installing is check the fluid level with the vehicle started and in neutral, as per the instructions. They say to "add fluid as needed" which is what you'll want to do.
