Question:

I need to put both the transmission and power steering coolers onto 07 pilot. I can understand how to do 1 but not really sure how to install both at the same time. I sees you have a combo unit. its that the best way to go?

Expert Reply:

For cooling two different systems, using a combination cooler would be a good way to go because it saves some space in the engine compartment and you only have to mount one cooler. You could use a kit like # D15902. You would not use the oil filter parts because they are not used by the power steering system. This is the easiest way to go if you do not want to mount two coolers.

Power steering coolers are on the small side, see link. The fluid from the power steering pump will flow through the cooler and back out to the power steering system. Since the coolers are small, you should have no trouble mounting it and a transmission cooler like # D13502. I have linked a video showing a typical installation of a transmission cooler and a link to some FAQ articles that should help.
