[QUOTE="Chinmasterflex, post: 1177783, member: 22411"] I was in the same boat having just had the trans serviced before heading to TRR. I just swapped mine out for this cooler from RPG a couple weeks ago. I just popped off the upper hose first and plugged it with a bolt. Had maybe a few drops of fluid loss at most. The fluid from the cooler wil drain back to the trans. Since the new cooler is 9 rows to the existing 4 rows. I measured out the capacity of the old cooler worth of oil and filled it through the lower cooler line. It's not super exact, but super easy. And you can just check and top it off later if needed but it ended up being filled up correctly in my case. It's such a small amount of additional fluid that even if it's not the same brand mercron LV/trans fluid ican't imagine it making a difference. I just used mobil1 lv equivalent. Big if it really stresses you out, go get the same brand. Easily a 20 min job if I didn't have my power steering cooler mounted to the trans cooler bracket. Oem fit and quality (because it is), goes right in the space ford had already made. No downsides I can think of, it's also cheaper than every aftermarket cooler solution I can think of. It pretty much doesn't get any easier than this to upgrade anything else on your truck. Big thanks to RPG for finding and offering this cooler! [/QUOTE]
