Question:
I drive a 2005 Honda Pilot, rather than add a cooler I want to install a cooler that will serve as the only means of cooling the trans fluid. That said which cooler should I use for this purpose? I live in a mostly moderate to hot area so sub zero is not an issue for the most part.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The best way to pick out a transmission cooler for a vehicle like your 2005 Honda Pilot would be to go with the biggest one that will fit the available space the vehicle has in front of the radiator/AC condenser.
I would go with the # D13503 over the # D13502 that you referenced as long as you have the room for it. This cooler measures 11W x 8-3/4T x 7/8D Inch.
I attached an install video that shows this cooler being installed on a similar Honda as yours.
