It’s gotten SO hot under the hood, BMW/MINIS have gone to putting a fan on the steering pump, and some Range Rovers have a water-cooled alternator! Crazy!
1) Heat is the MORTAL ENEMY of your engine. The higher the temp, the faster engine oil breaks down and the shorter the most-effective part of its life-cycle is.
2) Heat puts a strain on and advances the failure point of virtually everything under your hood.
3) Heat “Soaks” and heat “Migrates”. So when your engine heats up, the heat migrates to, and heats up, the transmission. The hotter the transmission, the quicker the fluids break down. So, their lubricity drops, so wear increases and transmission life decreases.
But why has heat in the engine compartment gone up?
Reason #1: The Feds keep upping the emission standards (I’m not against clean air, but I hate the heat – – anywhere – – especially under the hood! From here, it migrates, thanks to “heat soak” to your vehicle’s interior – making you hotter – and to your expensive-to-repair/replace transmission – which is now more delicate due to more ‘speeds’ (gears) and, more electrical solenoids, etc. – so more expensive to repair/replace!
When the Feds raise the emissions standards, the extra work the engine does to do more filtering/cleaning means more heat! But the hotter the engine runs the more of its pollutants it burns off (more heat = more burning off). So, the government likes to see the operating temps go up! From the beginning of automotive history, the operating temp was 180˚, and this was true through the mid-1980’s, which is when emissions controls were loaded on – and now the standard, routine engine operating temp is 210˚ – 30˚ higher! Imagine a comfortable spring day, with a temperature of 72˚. Add 30˚ to that, and you get a 102˚ day, so 30˚ is a BIG difference!
And some vehicles are designed to run hotter than that! Considering water boils at 212˚, man that is getting HOT!
In official Police testing, our RunCool Hood Louvers (Size Large, Hi-Flow) lowered underhood temps by 47 ˚. That is HUGE. That more than offsets the 30 ˚ engine operating temp increases of recent years!
Reason #2: There is much more ‘stuff’ under the hood. So everything looks like it’s crammed in there. This reduces the pathways through which cooler air can travel to remove the heat.
So, RunCool Hood Louvers are needed now, more than ever!
Now you can understand how these pay for themselves the more you use them!
So, call us, or go to our website and get your order in, today!

Learn more about the benefits of a transmission cooler for your vehicle.
Transmission Cooler Guide - Copyright © 2022
Unsure if a transmission cooler it is worth adding to your vehicle? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Most drivers are looking for ways to help prolong the life of their vehicle in one way or another. Adding a transmission cooler is a low cost, beneficial way to help ensure your vehicle’s transmission stays in great shape and keeps your car on the road longer.
There are a number of different types of transmission coolers that have their own unique functions and benefits. So whatever you need your vehicle to do, there is a transmission oil cooler that is best for your application.
If you have a basic daily driver, heavy duty truck or SUV designed for towing and hauling, a high performance street car, or any other vehicle with an automatic transmission, a transmission cooler can help keep your car running longer and more efficiently.
While all automatic transmission equipped vehicles have a transmission cooler in their radiator, this might sometimes not be enough to properly cool your transmission fluid. Depending on how your vehicle is used, it would be best to think about adding an external transmission cooler if you encounter any of the following driving conditions.
While these conditions alone may not cause damage to your transmission, they can certainly speed up the process based on how harsh they are. For example, stop and go traffic will cause the transmission temperature to increase do to there being little to no air flow to the front of the car. Airflow is important to to cool the radiator, which is where the factory trans cooler is housed.
Most times, the factory transmission oil cooler can actually act as a heater based on being located inside the radiator where hot coolant is continually flowing in and out. With little airflow, the radiator needs to work harder to keep the engine cooler, thus is not able to effectively cool transmission temperatures.
Based on this, it would be smart to utilize an external transmission cooler to help allow the transmission fluid to cool more effectively outside of the radiator. While there are extra parts and understanding needed, adding an transmission cooler is simple. All you really need is space to mount the new cooler, extra transmission cooler lines , some additional fluid to make up for the added capacity, and mounting hardware.
After adding a transmission cooler to most vehicles will net an average 20-25 degree drop in trans temps. As pointed out before, transmission temp increases of 20-25 degrees higher than 175 dramatically decrease your fluid and overall transmission’s lifespan.
If you went from 185-190 degrees before installing a transmission cooler to somewhere in the 160-170 degree range after, then you will have certainly improved your transmission’s lifespan and potentially save yourself THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS on a new transmission.
Not bad for a minimal time and cost investment if you installed a transmission cooler yourself!
As we’ve learned by now, heat is the number one killer of transmissions. So based on this we need to understand how to keep transmission temperatures in check to prevent premature transmission failure. The normal safe transmission temperature range is about 170 – 190 degrees.
For every 25 degree increase, your transmission’s life can be cut drastically. The below transmission fluid temperature chart shows the ranges of temperatures and how long you can expect your transmission to last at that temperature.
As you can see in our transmission temperature chart, if your transmission tends to over heat, it will not last as long as you would like it to. It is recommended to install an external automatic transmission cooler to help your transmission work and be able to cool the fluid more efficiently. If you are unsure of what transmission you should use, check out our transmission cooler buyers guide .
When it comes to over cooling a transmission, transmission fluid is not as sensitive to colder weather or cooling as you would think. Yes, over cooling transmission fluid may cause some issues such as gelling up and restricting flow through the cooler lines and cooler itself, but this isn’t too common. This may occur when temperatures are consistently below freezing. Most modern transmission fluids operate fine in these conditions since they have an anti gelling agent that prevents the fluid from getting too cold and causing issues.
If your transmission temps are too low and under 100 degrees for a sustained period of time for example, then this may cause issues. While transmissions run best when kept cooler than average and sin a safe range, they still need to get some heat to allow for proper transmission function in regard to shift characteristics and lubrication at a correct viscosity.
When installing a transmission cooler , it is always best to use a cooler based on what climate the vehicle drives in. For example, if you drive in stop and go traffic in the Texas heat, you don’t need to be concerned with over cooling the fluid. However, if you drive long distances up north in the winter where temps are below freezing, then it’s always recommended to keep the factory cooler in the radiator in the loop due to the exposure to the cold ambient temps.
Another benefit of utilizing a transmission cooler on your car, truck, or SUV is that it keeps the transmission fluid in better condition longer. Over time, transmission fluid breaks down, especially with excess heat. When transmission fluid starts to burn, it cannot do its job of being to properly engage gears and clutches.
Based on the transmission fluid color comparison, you want your transmission fluid to still look red, even after several thousand miles. Once it gets too dark, it needs to be changed. By keeping the fluid cooler, you can allow the transmission to run at a suitable operating temp and prolong the life of your fluid.
Burnt transmission fluid is never good for long term transmission performance. Burning transmission fluid results in the formation of debris, and many other contaminants that will have a negative impact on your transmission. Burnt transmission fluid won’t be able to properly lubricate or cool down like it should based on it being broken down.
One the obvious effects of burnt transmission fluid is that it can cause overheating of your transmission. Because of this, it is best to use a transmission cooler to help preserve your transmission fluid. If you have right automatic transmission oil cooler for your car, truck or SUV, burnt fluid will not be a problem for you.
So how do you know if your transmission fluid is burnt? The most obvious way to tell is well, it has a distinct burnt smell. The burnt fluid stench is very obvious, so it is easy to identify.
Another way to see if your transmission fluid is burnt is by looking at the color. Transmission fluid should be bright red with a sweet smell if is is still in good condition. However, the darker it gets, the more likely it is that the fluid will need to be changed, along with the filter.
By utilizing the right transmission cooler for your application will ensure that your transmission fluid will stay cooler and prevent burning. Burning transmission fluid will reduce its effectiveness to lubricate and cool, so it is recommended to check your fluid to ensure it is in good shape.

Though each performs the same job – cool the transmission – each type does it a little differently.
Whichever transmission cooler design you choose, rest assured that it will extend the life of your transmission by preventing heat-related failures and improving shifting performance.
An automatic transmission works harder when towing heavy loads or driving in rough conditions, so it gets hotter than usual. Extreme heat is dangerous to your transmission, and if you frequently use your vehicle for towing or hauling loads, and/or drive in rough conditions such as hilly terrain or mountainous, unpaved roads, an aftermarket transmission cooler might be a good idea. A transmission cooler helps the transmission stay cool, even when working harder than normal, which in turn lets you get the best performance and long life out of it.
Fluid heated by the transmission, engine, or power steering pump flows to the cooler. Air flowing over the fins of the cooler carries away heat and cools the fluid flowing within the fins.
The cooled fluid is routed back through the transmission via the return line. Through this continuous process, cooling beyond just the standard system of the radiator is provided to the transmission.
There are a few different ways to install a transmission cooler. The most common way is to have the cooler attached with rods and fasteners. The rods, usually plastic, go through the transmission cooler and the radiator and secured with the fasteners.
Another way to install a transmission cooler is to use a mounting kit that includes flexible brackets for easy installation. This makes it easier if the cooler has mounting points designed for brackets – but your vehicle must have good mounting points, too. If you’re installing a stacked plate type cooler, then a solid mounting bracket kit is necessary. Some kits are designed for quick install and removal, which is ideal for high performance or racing applications where the cooler might have to be swapped frequently.
There are three types of transmission coolers. Though each performs the same job – cool the transmission – each type does it a little differently. Transmission fluid can’t be cooled too much, so installing the biggest cooler that fits in your engine compartment and that provides the most cooling protection for your transmission is a good idea. Your locally owned AAMCO Colorado transmission center can help you determine which one will fit and is best for your purposes.
The tube-and-fin type consists of a tube that carries transmission fluid through the cooling unit. It has what is called “turbulators”, which agitate the fluid, which causes it to cool more thoroughly by washing up against the inside walls of the aluminum tube. The heat is absorbed by the aluminum and is transferred to aluminum fins attached to the outside of the tube, which quickly dissipates the heat. The heat is carried away by air flowing all around the fins on the outside of the cooler. The tube-and-fin style of cooler works well but is not the most efficient kind.
The plate-and-fin style of transmission cooler works on the same principle as the tube-and-fin but is more efficient. It forces fluid through smaller plates that cause agitation of the fluid. The small, flat plates allow more fluid to contact the surface inside the cooler, which maximizes heat transfer and minimizes pressure drop.
Whichever transmission cooler design you choose, rest assured that it will extend the life of your transmission by preventing heat-related failures and improving shifting performance. AAMCO Colorado can help you make the right decision for your car, based on your driving habits, requirements, and a transmission Vehicle Courtesy Check. Once you know what type of cooler you need, we’ll install it and make sure it’s working properly, keeping the transmission cool and running smoothly.

A vehicle used for towing may sometimes benefit from an additional transmission cooler. Towing increases the load and puts additional strain on a vehicle’s transmission, thereby increasing the heat that is generated and the cooling levels required to ensure the transmission doesn’t burn out. An auxiliary transmission cooler will not increase the towing or hauling capacity of a vehicle. If you overload the vehicle, no amount of cooling will make it haul or tow more than the maximum specified weight. You just need a more powerful vehicle. Also, a transmission cooler is not a solution for other transmission problems that can cause transmissions to overheat and fail . If your transmission is slipping or having other problems , you should come to your local Colorado AAMCO transmission center for complete Vehicle Courtesy Check by our certified technicians.
AAMCO sells, installs, repairs and maintains automatic transmission coolers. Come to your local AAMCO Colorado transmission shop for a Vehicle Courtesy Check and the best transmission cooler installation and service around. If you think a transmission cooler is the way to go, AAMCO Colorado can help. With our transmission Vehicle Courtesy Check , an AAMCO technician will identify any possible issues that need to be addressed and what can be done to remedy any overheating issues – including installation of an auxiliary transmission cooler.
