Recommended Transmission and Power Steering Cooler for 2007 Honda Pilot
Question:
I live in Seattle and it never gets real hot here. A 100 degree day might happen once a summer. With that said my thought is I would like to provide cooling but keep the coolers to a minimum. I would think a stock cooler for a transmission would provide plenty of cooling for power steering. I'm assuming the pressures would be the same. I'm thinking I would add one of your class III (is there a class IV?) cooler for the transmission. I would rather not add another fan. Do you see a problem with this approach?

I have not heard of that being done but it absolutely could work. What I would instead recommend is keeping your current transmission cooler and adding the Derale Electra-Cool Combo Engine and Transmission Cooler Assembly w/ Fan, -8 AN Inlets - 8 Pass # D15200 to use as an additional transmission cooler and a power steering cooler. This kit comes with the barb fittings to make the installation easy.
