Derale 13212 Power Steering Cooler Kit , Black

I purchased this oil cooler to add oil cooling capability to my 22HP Kohler powered lawn tractor. The cooler fit correctly, together with other parts I bought seperately. It works well and does add oil cooling capacity to the Kohler engine. I suppose the cooler would work well as a power steering oil cooler, as the cooler is made well, but that was not my use of the product.

Works excellent on Honda Pilot, 2004 model. Factory recommended a trans cooler and power steering cooler. Installed both in less than 2 hours and have had 0 issues.

So far it seems like it'll hold up fine. I custom mounted it, and it fits through the bumper vent great.

This did the trick on my 2012 wrangler. I burnt out my old PS pump off road with 37" tires. The fluid would heat up and bubble out of the resevoir which eventually killed off the pump. When I installed a new pump, I added one these coolers and have done a couple of trail runs. So far the fluid is staying cooler and it hasn't bubbled out of the resevoir.

This little gem and a 5" motor cycle fan ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U5TU1FU) that fit very well and with a leftover thermostat made my power steering run cool as can be. I set the T stat for 200 and it comes on now after about 30 minutes or if it is really hot outside. I went from down from 300 to 250 just with the cooler but in my car it is always hot so the fan can lower the temp to 160 and hold it if I wanted too.

Cooler itself is good enough and mounting hardware is adequate. Clamps could be better but what do you expect for the price? Real beef is with the supplied hose... Not only was it about 4’ short for my application, it was also the wrong diameter for the cooler barbs... a bit like prom night, too much lube and pushing for my taste.

This power steering cooler installed very easily on our 2007 Honda Pilot. It looks to be a quality unit as well.

Core leaked right out of the box.
