Expert Answers about Vehicle Fluid Filter


  • Where Should Remote Transmission Filter Be Installed On Vehicle
  • When installing a remote transmission filter like part # D13090 on your vehicle, you can install it on either the incoming or outgoing line of the transmission. I have attached a drawing that shows the filter installed on the incoming transmission line. I called my contact at Derale and they told me it is really up to the individual which side of the OEM radiator they want to put the filter.

  • Derale Combination Transmission and Engine Oil Cooler Installation on a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban
  • The Combination Engine Oil and Transmission Cooler you purchased, # D15902, will work great on your 2007 Suburban, provided that there is 2 inches of clearance below the OEM oil filter for installation of the sandwich adapter and installation and removal of the filter and there is room for the oil cooler hose to be routed when the sandwich adapter is installed. Lets break the installation down to engine oil cooler and transmission oil cooler separately since the combo you purchased is...

  • How to Find the Transmission Return Line to Install Remote Filter on a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe
  • The remote transmission fluid filter # D13090 installs in line with the return line going back to the transmission on your 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe. To find the correct line there is a simple test you can do. Start the vehicle and put on the emergency brake and keep your foot on the regular brake. Shift the vehicle into gear for a few seconds then shift back into park and turn off the motor. One of the lines will be noticeably cooler than the other and that is the one you want.

  • Where To Install Temperature Sensor When Installing Derale Transmission Cooler On A 1989 Ford F-250
  • When installing the Derale Remote Transmission Filter Kit w/ Temperature Gauge, part # D13091, to your vehicle the temperature sensor is connected to a port on the remote filter mount. This is going to give you a transmission fluid temperature reading coming out of the transmission and at its highest temperature. If the temperature sensor is installed on the transmission pan the temperature reading is when the fluid has been cooled so it will not be at the highest temperature. I spoke...

  • How Does the Transmission Cooler Portion of D15902 Route to Vehicle
  • In the install video for the Combination cooler part # D15902 that you referenced it is used as a transmission and power steering fluid cooler so it does not show it getting attached to the oil filter system. The return line of the factory transmission cooler (radiator port) gets run to the inlet of the Derale cooler and then the outlet of the Derale gets run to the return line of the factory system that runs back to the transmission.

  • Transmission Temperature Gauge for a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser That Doesnt Drill Into Pan
  • If you are getting a trans warning light on your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser then that would be something more like low fluid or a leak and not necessarily the temperature. The Derale Temperature Gauge Kit # D13009 requires that a hole be drilled into the pan but the Derale Remote Transmission Filter Kit w/ Temperature Gauge # D13091 will help you avoid drilling into the pan since the temperature gauge installs on the remote mounting bracket. Either way, if you don't typically work on vehicles...

  • Derale Remote Trans Filter Kit w/ Temperature Gauge # D13091 Recommdation 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
  • This Derale Remote Transmission Filter Kit w/ Temperature Gauge, part # D13091, that you referenced would be a good idea for you to monitor your transmission coolers to let you know if you have an adequate cooling system, or if you should invest in another transmission cooler. The added filter would also help prolong the life of your transmission. When it comes to the temperature of your transmission you can not cool it enough, so you would not have to worry about over-cooling your transmission....

  • What is Correct Placement of Derale Dual-Pass Heat Sink Transmission Cooler # D13265
  • Maximum air flow will increase the heat exchange performance of any oil or transmission fluid cooler. This is true for flat plate-fin and tube-fin type coolers that typically mount in front of the air conditioning condenser as well as for heat-sink-type coolers intended for mounting on the frame rail. If mounted in a location that does not provide maximum air flow the cooler will still help to reduce the fluid temperature to some extent but it will not function at its best. If you prefer...

  • Requirements to Tow Mobility Scooter Behind 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser.
  • Based on my research, you can tow a trailer with your 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser, but there are several warranty limitations. The owner's manual I found states to never exceed the gross axle weight rating of your vehicle because of the added weight of the trailer hitch's tongue weight or cargo weight. In order to comply with the vehicle's warranty, the following requirements must be met: -The max. frontal area of the trailer cannot exceed 20 sq. ft. -If your vehicle has a manual transaxle,...

  • Checking Transmission Fluid Level on 2014 Nissan Pathfinder After Transmission Cooler Installation
  • Addition of a plate/fin transmission cooler such as the Derale Class III cooler # D13503 that fits your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder will usually mean only a few more ounces of fluid is needed to reach the full line on your dipstick. This will vary slightly from vehicle to vehicle and depends mostly on the specific length of hose used to install it. Typically this is rarely more than about one cup, 8-ounces. The best way to proceed is to complete installation of the cooler and run the engine....

  • Will Additional Transmission Fluid Be Needed After Installing a Cooler on a 2006 Jeep Commander
  • The core of transmission cooler # D13503 won't hold a lot of fluid and it depends on how much hose is used so you just have to perform the installation and then check the level and add fluid as needed. Be sure to use the correct fluid for your vehicle (check the owners manual or the fill location) because some vehicle transmissions are very sensitive regarding the fluid used.

  • Transmission Fluid Needed for Transmission Cooler Installation
  • When you install the Derale Series 9000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13611 a little extra fluid will be needed.

  • Adding Transmission Fluid After Installing Derale Transmission Cooler in 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • Thank you for your purchase of the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13504 for your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500. To answer your question, when adding fluid you will want to first check the fluid level with the vehicle started and in neutral. You will likely need to add some to top it off, so simply add it as needed; there isn't a specific process for adding fluid on a vehicle with a thermometer in the transmission system. It's really just check and top off as needed.

  • Does Extra Transmission Fluid Need to be Added After Installing a Supplement Transmission Cooler
  • You will most likely need to add additional transmission fluid when installing a supplemental transmission cooler such as # D13502. The cooler core itself will add capacity and the hose will add some as well. After the cooler is installed and you check to make sure nothing is leaking check the transmission fluid level as well and add fluid as needed. Be sure to consult the owner's manual for the proper transmission fluid to use with your vehicle.

  • How Much Fluid Will I Need For My Vehicle After Installing A Transmission Cooler?
  • We recommend to check your transmission fluid with your dip stick after installation of the cooler, typically you will need less than 1 pint-quart of fluid to fill the amount of fluid that was displaced. You can try to prefill the transmission cooler but this tends to get messy quick. Due to so many different sizes of coolers we cannot tell you exactly how much fluid will be displaced by the cooler and lines, but it will take more fluid to fill the lines then that cooler can hold. Pan...

  • Can Transmission Cooler be Installed on a Vehicle with Sealed Transmission
  • Sealed transmissions make installing a transmission cooler a bit more interesting since there isn't an easy way to add or check fluid. There may not be a dipstick on your transmission, but there is drain and fill plug. You are going to have to use a lube pump to get the proper amount of fluid in the vehicle so honestly your best option is going to be to have a transmission shop do the install since they will have the equipment needed. Prefilling the cooler might get you pretty close...
