Transmission Oil Cooler - Hydra-Cool® 23 Plate

Universal 3/8" Hose | Part Number: #678

The Davies Craig Hydra-Cool® 23 Plate Transmission Oil Cooler is a premium cooling solution engineered to keep automatic transmission fluid (ATF) at its optimum operating temperature. Featuring advanced plate & fin technology, the Hydra-Cool® design delivers superior heat transfer while requiring up to 33% less mounting space than a comparable tube & fin cooler, making it ideal for modern engine bays where space is at a premium. High-efficiency internal turbulators maximise heat dissipation while maintaining low pressure drop for outstanding cooling performance.

Designed for performance vehicles, 4WDs, towing, commercial fleets and motorsport applications, the Hydra-Cool® 23 Plate Oil Cooler effectively reduces transmission temperatures to protect against premature wear and costly repairs. Manufactured from lightweight aluminium and 100% pressure tested to 150 psi, every Hydra-Cool® Oil Cooler is built for long-lasting durability and reliability.

Why Install a Hydra-Cool® Transmission Oil Cooler?

Heat is one of the leading causes of automatic transmission failure. Heavy towing, stop-start traffic, steep climbs, off-road driving and high-performance applications all increase transmission fluid temperatures, reducing lubrication and accelerating wear on internal transmission components.

The Davies Craig Hydra-Cool® 23 Plate Transmission Oil Cooler removes excess heat before the fluid returns to the transmission, helping maintain optimum operating temperatures, improve shift quality and extend transmission life. Its premium plate & fin construction delivers exceptional cooling efficiency in a compact package, making it the ideal solution for vehicles requiring maximum cooling performance.
