Which Cools Better a 2 or 4 Pass Power Steering Cooler
Question:
What is the difference in the 2-pass vs. 4-pass tube fin power steering coolers by Derale? I have a 2008 Honda Odyssey EX-L and was trying to decide on whether to get the stock # 13212 2 pass vs. 13213 4 pass. Is one any better than the other? Is it better to have 4 passes or 2 passes as far as cooling the power steering fluid? Which one would you recommend for my vehicle?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The more times the fluid passes through the heat exchanger of the cooler the more it can be cooled. So the 4 pass part # D13212 would cool better than the 2 pass cooler part # D13213 that you also mentioned.
The advantage of the 2 pass cooler would be if there wasn't much room to mount the cooler.
