After watching this and seeing how easy the OEM trans cooler was to install, I cancelled an order for an aftermarket one since this one looks much easier to install. Great video, thanks for sharing it.
Eddie, Going to start this on my 2022 pilot this weekend. You're videos are just what I needed. They are really good for the home mechanic. Great job and thanks!!!
Your 2022 Pilot should have the ZF9 transmission which is different, the transmission cooler is the same but the lines coming out from your transmission should be different
Great video(s). The one for trans fluid helped a LOT. For noobs like me, you might want to remind everyone to take a pic of where all the clips (there are different sizes!) and bolts (there are different sizes!) go, so reinstalling them wont be as much guesswork as it was for me. Also, if you’re going to be installing this cooler and you don’t like hassling with the trim more than once, change your trans fluid and the coolant at the same time. Yeah, I’ve got to remove the gravel shield again. ~face palm~
Good video, I just have to add a few tips. I went from under in between the grill and radiator and tightened my screws. I used a lighter to soften and remove the old hoses. I removed battery to access the tube replacement. Good luck
6 out of 10 sounds optimistic. Then again it is me at rethinking should I get the dealer to do this or not. I'm my case, i will go with the dealer. But great video. Thumbs up .
These trans coolers are only for the 6speed transmission pilots. The 9speed transmissions allows the 5000lb rating already however a great vid. I don't think I've seen a video of someone installing this on the pilot.
Thanks for sharing but I don't see much of you doing ,I know it's tight spot for working on , wishes to see more clear how you doing step-by-step ,thank again
Tien Nghe I’m sorry I try to show as much as possible or at least explain in the best way I can. Unfortunate I do most of the work including the filming myself.
Robert my pilot is an ex-l your elite has a different transmission. 9 speed. The procedure is going to be very similar as far as location of the cooler. The lines are what I’m guessing is different.
Jim Reagan I cant reply directly to your question, so I hope you get this. I honestly don’t remember any fluid loss and I only added about 1/4 of a quart of Honda specific trans fluid.
I use a translator. For a 9 speed transmission, is it worth installing additional cooling? Or is it unnecessary? I want to tow a motorhome, don't know which one yet
The number should be 06255-RLX-306 as far as I know. Confirmed my finding with a local Honda dealer when asked for a cost of labor to get it installed ($733 for the cooler install only, wow).
Thanks for the vid Eddie . Trying to flush my Coolant on my 16 Pilot . Moved a ton of cladding but didn't see the Petcock Coolant drain valve . My Pilot doesn't have the " drain door " nor is the valve situated where it is on the other 18 -23 vids I've looked at . Do you have a Coolant Flush vid so I can find the Petcock drain ?
@Eddie’sspeedgarage Thank you for the videos! Do I have to be ready for a leak of coolant when pipes are reattached? Does it matter which of two pipes to reattach first? How did you ensure that there is no air left in the system (ATF cooler is installed with an air inside)? Thank you for the videos again!
It’s not coolant it’s transmission fluid. I didn’t use a drip pan and air in the system is not an issue since it’s not a air tight system. No transmissions are.
Hi Eddie, I've watched all three videos and am about to install the trailer wiring harness. I have the OEM wiring harness and trans cooler but a UHaul trailer hitch. I'm thinking I'll just have to get creative with a bracket to mount the 7pin connector. My question is did you install a brake controller with this? I'm thinking I should but not sure which model to go with or how to connect it. Do you have a video on that? Also, I'm a little confused on how to connect the hoses cause the hoses for the trans cooler I got from the dealer look different than the ones used in your video. Plus there are other hose/attachment connector thingys that I have no idea how those attach.
Did you by any chance got this part number from Honda? 06255-5EZ-316. My kit also looks different to the one on the video because the lines go to the transmission “warmer”. My pilot is a 2017 touring “9 speed”. Looks like there is the difference on the kits. 6 speed vs 9 speed. I am having such a hard time getting to one of the bolts on the warmer to be able to replace the lines.
@@noerosales8903I got the following Info from a Pilot Forum. I am about to put a trailer package on my Pilot and noticed two different part numbers for the trans cooler. Elite: 9 speed transmission: uses ATF cooler P/N 06255-5EZ-316 is in front of the radiator. 6 speed transmission uses - Honda (06255-RLX-306) is also in front of the radiator.
Hi Eddie, great works on your videos. I watched all 3 videos and got all my trailer hitch, harness, and cool kits installed. I have 2 questions for you. 1. do you need to add more transmission fluid after installing cool kit and how much? 2. The cool kits feel more hot is that normal? Thanks for Eddie!
I did add about a quarter quart since you know there was virtually no loss, just needed to add what the cooler would hold which is not much. And I’m not sure why you mean by cool kits.
Eddie, did you order all of the parts together as a kit, or did you have to search for them? I remember a company offering a kit for the Odyssey that included everything. Also, did you say the new finishing trim for the rear came with the hitch kit?
I bought everything at the same time just called a Honda dealer and told them what I wanted. It was 3 separate items. The hitch with came with the panel. The wiring harness, comes with the trailer brake pigtail. the cooler which came with the 5k sticker. Hope this helps.
@@eddiesspeedgarage thanks. I was doing some looking and found all of the kits @ HondaFactoryParts.com. The harness and the finishing trim come with the hitch kit and the ATF cooler comes alone. All cheaper than the dealet.
@Eddie, did you have to do anything with the ECU after the cooler install? The oem honda installation paperwork says the ecu must be updated after install. No issues without doing that?
If your vehicle was equipped with a tow hitch from the factory it’s in the rear bumper replacement panel. Same place if dealer installed. If it’s an aftermarket hitch that pokes out under the bumper you won’t have one.
Okay so apparently GM & Honda worked together to develop the six speed xmission, why did they not One, give the transmission a larger sump and Two when taking the drain plug out the mechanic can easily only replaces 3.3 QTs when there are 8 QTS that actually need to be changed. I know on my Ford you can rotate the torque converter, remove a threaded plug and drain most of the fluid out the xmission with the pan removed. Can anything like this be achieved with the xmission cover removed when changing the filter, does anyone know ? Thanks in advance.
@@paulschneeman1476 look up the transmission flush procedure for the Honda. It will give you step by step directions. I had the same question. Essentially if your doing a routine fluid change it tells you to check the color of the fluid. If color is good, just drain what you can and refill. (Roughly 3 quarts) if color is dark, you will repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times, or until the color is good. Essentially mix fresh with old, flush, repeat. If you don’t tow, or drive in extreme conditions, getting all 8 quarts out isn’t necessary. Color is key.
Question for you I had this installed by the dealer. I have a 16 touring How do you check your fluid after the cooler is added? I can not see my transmission cooler dipstick. So either I’m loosing my mind or it’s somewhere else. Thanks I’m advance.
It’s on the drivers side very low it’s hard to see and just as hard to fill. It’s just a metal ring no identifying marks. Not even painted red. It’s basically straight south of the air intake tube
@@eddiesspeedgarage Thanks for the reply.. It turns out, last time I got the fluid changed it was at another shop, And they didn't use Honda brand. The Honda service writer said it would be okay because all the transmission fluids if they're ATF like DW1 are interchangeable. It's the 9-speed transmission that has the crazy fluid. But anyhow I'm going to do a transmission drain and fill. But there's not going to be any way to get all of the other brands fluid out. So I'll let you know if there's any problems but Honda says there won't be.
Anthony Fig it can tow up to 5k if you have the cooler. Look through the lower vent in front on the drivers side lower end of the radiator for the cooler. I’ll bet it’s not there if the hitch wasn’t installed.
Eddie’sspeedgarage He means if you install a transmission cooler ( which comes empty) you need to add ATF to fill it up Those 9 spd are super sensitive if they are missing ATF I do recommend to check your level
@@eddiesspeedgarage So I just leased this car two days ago and the salesman told me that it could tow 5,000 lbs. It does not have a hitch though. Is there a way for me to tell if it has the cooler installed?
lysergicninja sorry the salesman misinformed you. The pilot is capable of towing 3500 lbs without the trans cooler and 5000 lbs only if the cooler is installed. You would have to look at the lower drivers side of the radiator in front probably through the lower bumper grill. I bet is that it’s not there because the hitch isn’t there either.
FWD axles are not recommended for towing over 5000 LBS , they could probably get it done a few times but they will eventually break, that’s the whole reason that only the AWD can comfortably tow 5000LBS. It’s common sense!
Hi Eddie, I have a 2019 Pilot ex 2wd. When i went to Honda to ask about this, the parts guy said the Cooler kit listed with them is only for an AWD 6 speed. Do you know if the 2wd will accept this cooler?
Ed sorry I can’t say for sure. They most likely sell your vehicle specific cooler. I’m thinking that it’s the same unless you have a 9 speed transmission.
I wanted to add the trans cooler to my 2020 FWD for good measure. I can't find anywhere that someone has installed the Honda AWD cooler to make sure that it would fit the FWD 9 speed.
Tongue weight changes with trailer weight. If your only towing 3500 pounds you wouldn’t want 500 pounds tongue wrong because then more weight is on the hitch than the trailer wheels. That’s why Honda increased the tongue weight with the higher trailer weight. And if you know of any Honda trucks that tow more than the Pilot let me know and I’ll stand corrected.
Kanti123 if you plan on towing over 3000 lbs. if your car came with a hitch look at the rear bumper near the hitch and there will be a sticker there with the tow weight on it.

No idea where that sticker is located.
The sticker came with the oil cooler goes on the replacement panel on the rear.
Good video. The sticker you added is incorrect as the max tongue weight changed. Adding the cooler will not affect max tongue weight capacity.
Tongue weight changes with trailer weight. If your only towing 3500 pounds you wouldn’t want 500 pounds tongue wrong because then more weight is on the hitch than the trailer wheels. That’s why Honda increased the tongue weight with the higher trailer weight. And if you know of any Honda trucks that tow more than the Pilot let me know and I’ll stand corrected.
Do I need this? I have awd touring version
Kanti123 if you plan on towing over 3000 lbs. if your car came with a hitch look at the rear bumper near the hitch and there will be a sticker there with the tow weight on it.
Eddie’sspeedgarage mine tow up to 5,000
Kanti123 then you already have the cooler, your all set!
From the video, you should be able to see the cooler looking through the front bumper. Never hurts to look.
Good starting point for the install but I suggest anyone considering doing this to look up better instructions online.
The Toyota Highlander have a Tran cooler and engine cooler. Far better than Honda cause it's not included as a tow package.
Looks like you do not need to drain the transmission fluid when doing this, correct?
lylejt that’s correct and there is very little if any loss.
