sounds like you have found the external transmission cooler, already in circuit and functionalgtvapsamtik wrote:So i opened up the hood of my pathfinder for first time today. There is a small black Radiator like thing infront of Actual Radiator.
Is this a Engine oil cooler or Transmission cooler ? And how do u turn it on. Car manual doesnt talk about it at all. I just bought this 2010 SE pathfinder the other day.
Thanks I just bought 2010 SE 4x4, so Nissan didnt added engine cooler bcuz it does not get as hot as Transmission oil ?eieio wrote:sounds like you have found the external transmission cooler, already in circuit and functionalgtvapsamtik wrote:So i opened up the hood of my pathfinder for first time today.

the external transmission cooler, i believe, is an aid to increase towing capacity, by helping to keep the transmission oil cooler under heavy loads
I know my car have Q40 Engine , does it have both Engine and tranny cooler working all the time ?eieio wrote:oh yeah, forgot about that!08Datsun wrote:All R51s have both an auxilliary transimission cooler as well as an engine oil cooler. The engine oil cooler is water to oil and your oil filter screws onto it.
