that's the exact bottle when i requested them to show me a bottled version so i can check out the labels/product description way back then.
albeit it did not come with the marker pen "Q8 unitrans JK". just a "blank" Q8 bottle
per bottle should be a liter i assume? if yes then yeah pricing is about the same that i've gotten for my place.
i dont know la, however from the way how smooth my auto shifts are, i am not even sure if one even needs an ATF cooler after you're on good semi syn (the product sheet says synthetic from Q8 site, however my workshop foreman says its semi synthetic only) AND lubegard platinum.
the main reason why one gets an ATF cooler is to cooldown ATF temperature because the higher temperature it goes for the ATF, the viscosity may change and may be off your tranny specifications or at least very near off which may not offer enough protection.
i've never experienced jerks/delays in shifts ever since i'm on Q8 and eventually lubegard, and that totally killed my thoughts of getting an ATF cooler since i probably don't need one.
Alas the above claims are from non-scientific claims/feels/experience, which may or may not be accurate as opposed to having a proper thermostat/device to check your actual ATF temperature/viscosity.
however one thing to note, MAJORITY of stock vehicles DOES NOT have ATF coolers installed in their car, so *maybe* it really isn't needed
I did not experience any jerks or delays as the gearbox is still new(2 years++) but does feel that car is hard to pull after long driving, getting hot maybe?
I just throw a cooler in so I don't need to worry about gearbox overheating when I pull it hard as I don't have any gauge to check the temperature. Just for prevention and feel good factor
Not going to install engine oil cooler, just waiting next coolant change and get a good coolant. Has quite good review, can be found at ACE hardware
