CVT Transmission Cooler
I am curious to know if anyone on here has installed an auxiliary transmission cooler on their CVT model? I have the factory cooler already but would like to add another. I am thinking about the RRM cooler but have also used ones from online on other vehicles with great results. Just would like to read any reviews or inputs from fellow Os owners!
Thanks all 👍

I plan on using a large GM based stack plate version (had from you my wife's Old Saturn Vue.) She has the Outlander 3 row and I have the Sport
The stock cooler is 9.875"W x 5"H x 1.375"T for a total of 68.75 cu in
This one is 11"W x 5.5625"H x 1.5"T for a total of 92.81 cu in or 35% larger using the superior stacked plate design (more heat transfer). I was also thinking about using a fog light as a duct for a hidden cooler to supplement the existing one. Then I can close it in the winter to keep up operating temps.

Thanks mate, I have since added a large Hayden trans cooler to the front. I attached it to my AC/Condensor since that sits in front of the radiator. Have the custom bumper setup it's tucked back for a bit of protection but also gets hit with a good amount of cool air. The one you found looks nice as well!
