Its auto oil cooler. IIRR oil still goes into radiator end tank also. Idea behind using both end tank and separate cooler was that at cold weather transmission oil would worm up same speed as coolant and at hot weather gearbox oil would not get too hot.

Your the winner
I thought it was the transmission cooler but saw the connections to the radiator now you cleared that all up.
Now to move the condenser over to clear the headlamp arm, I need to reroute the hoses, Damm.

It is the transmission cooler as Erkka said

actually, the correct answer is:

Auxiliary transmission cooler

the main automatic transmission cooler is in the passenger side radiator tank. The one pictured is a factory add-on/option, per Erkka's usage description (reason for being there).


(not that is matters....just having some fun with it)
