Fluid Cooling Options for 2008 Chrysler Town and Country

Question:

Is there an engine oil cooler that would be available for a 2008 Chrysler town and country? Also an upgraded radiator? I am trying to increase my towing capacity. Is there a transmission and oil cooler combo? Thanks.

We do offer oil, transmission and power steering coolers that are suitable for your 2008 Chrysler Town and Country. There are also dual-core combination coolers that can handle cooling of two separate fluids within one housing. These coolers are not vehicle-specific so essentially you can use a large a cooler as you can find space for it. We do not offer OEM replacement or aftermarket upgraded radiators.

Coolers are labeled with a Class rating; the higher the Class the better the cooling performance. The linked articles will give you plenty of background information. Please note that adding supplementary coolers to your vehicle does not increase its towing capacities. These devices are useful and will help prolong the health of your engine systems but they do not give your vehicle any more towing capacity; this remains as determined by the manufacturer (up to 3600-lbs if properly equipped or as stated in your owner's manual).

A great example of a dual-core combination cooler is the Derale # D15902 (shown in the linked video) and for which the written instructions are attached.
