Transmission coolers are relatively cheap insurance policies that will prolong the life of the transmission. A cooler may not be totally necessary for your application on your 2016 Honda Pilot, but considering the cost of the cooler compared to the cost of a transmission rebuild it would be a very smart choice.
For a transmission cooler the part # D13503 would be a great option. Transmission coolers are pretty universal in their application and installation so this would work well as long as you can fit in front of the radiator of your vehicle. It measures 11" Wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep. Check out the install video I attached for it.
