Reommended Transmission Cooler for 2008 Nissan Rogue

Question:

Hello, I saw a video on Youtube about install a Transmission Cooler for Nissan XTerra. I have a 2008 Nissan Rogue which needs a Transmission Cooler because after 90 miles in a travel the transmission goes to pretection mode, the revolutions goes down and the vehicle doesnt accelerate anymore. So a guy from Nissan dealer told me to installa a Cooler. Do you sell a Cooler for my vehicle? Do you have a Video for this? Thanks in advanced,

Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, so you will need to consider the clearance of the location you wish to install the cooler.

There are different styles. The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets, part # D13503, is a plate and fin cooler and actually performs differently than a tube and fin style cooler like # D15551. I have attached a FAQ article that explains the difference in transmission coolers and how they work.

A plate and fin cooler is more efficient because it causes the fluid to come in contact with the aluminum fins at a greater volume as it passes through the plates. The tube and fin cooler has the fluid pass through the cooler in a tube which comes in contact with the fins to dissipate the heat. The tube and fin coolers are the least efficient of the transmission coolers.

The article I attached explains what to consider when choosing a cooler for your 2008 Nissan Rogue.
