300 Series Toyota Landcruiser Oil Cooler Install

Greg from Wholesale Automatics demonstrates how to install a transmission oil cooler into a 300 Series Toyota Landcruiser
Do I need a transmission cooler? Those who tow, carry any sort of load or go offroad should definitely run a dedicated transmission cooler. As the largest 4WD auto transmission specialist in the southern hemisphere we know experientially that heat causes wear, reduces performance and causes costly breakdowns.
At Wholesale Automatics we have model specific DIY transmission oil cooler kits to suit your needs.

Great video mate
After fitting should the servicing dealer be notified of a cooler being installed so that they can add the additional 2L of fluid or do they add like you did until it comes out the check plug?

Anyone you choose can add the extra oil. It's not always 2 litres required but up to 2 liters.

I do find it amusing that these overpriced 300s don't have adequate cooling for the transmission in first place? Is it really necessary to add a cooler to a non modified (no barwork) 300? Surely these things have been designed to tow 3t all day long without adding a extra cooling?

We have seen a couple of 300 overheat while towing and even our own did when testing in hilly or slow terrains. We have already been asked and supplied kits to customers that have experienced the same problems. For the most part these were unmodified 300 series, this included our own when tow testing.
