ATF & Oil cooler

[kimo]

Hi,

Has anyone installed ATF or Oil Cooler.

[vividjazz]

I ran an oil cooler on my old '95 Suzuki GTi and bikes almost always have oil coolers.

They increase your oil capacity and are important for improving oil temperature in extreme conditions. They are great for offroad ralleying in cars. By lowering your engine temperature in your ralley car you can extract more power.

I want the part # for the Honda

dun have.... this is an aftermarket part...

An oilcooler isnt really neccecary on a stock engine.... Proper regular cooling does it :)

What about tranny cooler? I touched the underside of the CVT unit after a spirited drive and it was burning hot.. Add to this that the recommended change interval for ATF is a whopping 80,000km... and the unknown reliability of the CVT unit in the long term.. (already had mine replaced under warranty at 65000km due to strange squeeling noise on cold start)

Andy, strange squeeling noise on cold start??? Does it sound similiar to Belt Squeaking noise? My car is doing that at the momment.. Not sure if there is something to worry about...

i ve asked before... aftermarket trans cooler is normally for the conventional manual or auto... seller or supplier not sure the effect with cvt ......

Damn. Also what about oil pan baffles or superior oil sump? I haven't seen any bolt on product for the jazz for this function.

I'm pretty sure my CVT must be overheating with the way I drive it...

ahcash, refer to this thread:

For my dealer to find the problem I had to force them to leave my car overnight so they could start it cold in the morning to see the noise appear. Otherwise they couldn't find the noise.

oil pan is easy... that one can b custom made .... as for the oil cooler, i believe that it will helps the cvt.... cos theorically, the oil just flowing through the oil cooler... nothing much.... if i can get one with good price, i dun mind trying it.... its simple bolt on anyway....

[Andys]

The thing is, with the CVT unit it seems to be self contained. I doubt there is a way to tap into the flow of the fluid inside it to cool it down. Maybe we could weld heatsinks into all sides of the CVT unit so airflow while driving cools it down?? :)

or probably use full synthetic trans fluid....

dude, you're not supposed to touch the tranny after a drive, of coz its gonna be hot :D
anyway, i guess the manufacturer has spent millions of dollars designing and testing their CVT box to handle high temps, as they have already took into consideration that ppl will be doing "spirited" driving with their CVT, so i think unless your engine output has been remarkably increased, im pretty sure the tranny can handle it. for stock or lightly modified engines, regular attention to the cooling system is sufficient. :)

thats good idea...coz on my previous car, i switched to a full synthetic ATF and immediately felt an improvement...mainly the gear changes were much smoother. but for CVT box, u gotta check that watever oil u use must be compatible for CVT.

What is the best place to install the cooler in front radiator or AC.

CVT oil is compatible with Dexron III... i have checked oredy... i used Castrol Full Synthetic trans fluid in my cvt before... car drives different.... more responsive....

how many litres of ATF does the CVT box need? roughly how much did u spend inclusive labour?

Maybe in Norway, but in Oz we have consistent ambient daytime temps of 30 degrees or more, and often 40 or more, for months on end.

So . . . AT coolers especially add to life of transmission considerably and can also have good performance impact in summer especially or in hotter states.

i m sure how much ATF needed... as for labour not gonna costs that much... easy job
