Transmission and Power Steering Cooler for a 2007 Honda Odyssey

Question:

Hi, My 2007 Honda Odyssey has about 80K miles and havent towed anything so far except carrying a hitch mount bike rack. I will soon be towing a small trailer to carry dirt bikes/ a small camper. I am looking on adding a combination cooler with the fan as an extra safety measure. Will this unit fit in the Honda Odyssey? I am reading about ATF cooler, PS fluid cooler and Engine oil cooler. Do I need all three and will an 07 odyssey have space for all three in the front of the AC condensor. Please share me some options of the coolers.

Honda has traditionally required a transmission cooler and power steering cooler for towing but not an engine oil cooler. You can double check by looking in the towing section of your 2007 Honda Odyssey owner's manual.

With that said coolers are not vehicle specific so you can use # D15230. The great thing about a cooler that has its own fan is that it does not have to be placed in front of the AC condenser core. It can be placed anywhere there is space.

This particular cooler is 12-3/4" Wide x 7-5/8" tall x 3-3/4" deep. I also recommend adding installation kit # D13006 especially if you install it somewhere other than in front of the AC condenser and/or radiator.
