- Recommended Combo-Cooler And Power Steering Cooler For 2008 Honda Pilot
- If you are wanting to use coolers for your transmission oil, engine oil, and power steering fluid, I have some recommendations that will work for you.

- When installing a power steering cooler like # D13200 on a vehicle that has a factory power steering cooler, the best thing to do is install the supplemental cooler in line with the factory cooler. What you will do is find the return line from the factory cooler that leads back to the power steering pump.

- If you are looking for a heavy duty power steering cooler I would go for a Derale 4-Pass Tube-Fin Power Steering Cooler # D13212 over the Derale Tube-Fin Power Steering Cooler # D13310 that you referenced as the # D13212 is a four pass cooler that would have more cooling power than the # D13310.
Either cooler would work on your Honda Pilot, but the # D13212 would have more cooling power and I would consider it heavier duty.

view full answer... - Are Transmission Engine Oil and Power Steering Coolers Needed For Towing with a 2007 Honda Pilot
- Since the manufacturer recommends these aftermarket additions for your Pilot, we cannot suggest differently. The thing to remember is that if you do add these items and a warranty issue comes up, you have shown that you took the proper steps to ensure that your vehicle would perform properly so warranty service should not be a question.
Another thing to consider is that heat is the enemy of your engine, transmission, and power steering. Using a cooler will dissipate more heat and prolong...
view full answer... - Why Would a Vehicle Need a Power Steering Cooler
- Any time a vehicle is not moving or if there is extra weight in the vehicle or because the vehicle is towing it makes it harder for the power steering components to do their job (because of the extra weight or lack of motion). This extra stress produces heat which can damage the power steering pump and break down its fluid. Some vehicles like those made by Toyota require a power steering cooler when towing. Consult the owners manual to confirm for any vehicle.
