Product Description
Adding this B&M SuperCooler keeps the ATF and transmission cooler, and keeping a vehicle's transmission cool is essential for dependability, especially in performance applications. The unit is designed to be very efficient for its size and weight, to cool much better than an ordinary 'fin and tube' cooler, and to reduce the risk of lube system failure. Using fluxless, oven brazed construction for vibration resistance, it is built out of lightweight aluminum alloy and features a revolutionary 'stacked plate' design with multiple oil flow paths. The unit monitors resistance to flow by allowing a controlled amount of ATF to pass through a self-regulating orifice. Controlled by viscosity, thicker ATF is returned directly to lube through two bypass openings in the stacked plate core, while thinner ATF is directed through the core to cool as operating temperatures increase.

The one thing I really like about this cooler is that it does not have fins. On a trip to Joshua Tree, I had driven through a swarm of bugs. When I got home I blasted the cooler with water and cleaned all the bugs off. With a finned cooler you usually have to clean from the back of the cooler forward to get all the little parts that got into the fins. With this cooler just hit it with the garden hose and you're done.
The one, and only, thing I didn't like too much is the thin metal that the bosses for the fittings are attached to. Backing up the boss with a wrench when attaching a fitting is a MUST. Otherwise you'll probably twist the boss right off of the cooler.
Overall, this is a great buy. It does its job, cleans up easily and looks cool. Even with the thin metal holding the fitting bosses, I would recommend this cooler. Just don't forget to back up the bosses.
This is the best upgrade I have ever used on a car. Had to build brackets from aluminum sticks from Home Depot to get the job done right. Installed this unit on my 2008 Saturn VUE and I love it. It feels and drives lot better. You will notice the difference. I didn’t get this for towing or anything like that, I just dive up many hills on my daily commute, 150 to 200 miles a day and I noticed the powerful and comfortable shifting. I did not bypass the radiator with this install, I let the transmission oil run into the radiator for first cooling and then go to this cooler for more cooling before returning to the transmission. The ports on the unit are larger than the standard transmission ports guarantying no restriction of flow. It is light weight but can get heavy once full of oil so I recommend not attaching to radiator or AC condenser and to leave room for air flow.
Almost all the moisture condenses out and is separated with a Norgen air/water separator. After painting an entire car, I drained my tank and maybe a tablespoon of water came out. Without the cooler and air/water separator, it would have been many cups of condensed water.
Be careful with the fittings. Use a wrench on the cooler side while tightening against it to prevent damaging the cooler. I damaged my first one when replacing the compressor pump, but this was obviously my own fault and not an issue with the oil cooler.
B&M 70274 is the largest and toughest cooler they make but if you want a 40K btu cooler, look for Tru-Cool. It isn't as study as the B&M though. My old 1982 Chevy 6.2 diesel would get super hot climbing hills while pulling the 7K trailer. Now I can pull all day long and not see the temp get any higher than 180. Awesome!
