• Q: How to replace the auxiliary transmission oil cooler on 2008 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: To begin the replacement process of the transmission oil cooler, review clearance surrounding transaxle oil cooler pipes and hoses for safety reasons against potential fluid loss through wear or damage. Start work by unbolting the transmission oil cooler bolt from the upper radiator support and then uninstall the upper radiator air baffle. The installation begins with removing lower radiator air baffles and transmission oil cooler bolts which secure the lower radiator support. First detach the inlet and outlet transmission oil cooler lines from their supporting clips before lowering the cooler down below the front bumper. Pull off the inlet and outlet hoses connected to the transmission oil cooler. Install the cooler by first connecting inlet and outlet hoses then repositioning the device into its original position. Reinstall inlet and outlet lines to support clips while strictly adhering to the fastener notice. Fasten the transmission oil cooler bolts onto the lower radiator support where torque reaches 10 N.m (89 lb in) then reinstall the lower radiator air baffle. Install the transmission oil cooler bolt onto the upper radiator support using 25 N.m (18 lb ft) of torque then put back the upper radiator air baffle after which adjust the fluid level.
