Perrin Transmission Oil Cooler Kit Black w/ CVT Transmission 2013-2025 Crosstrek / 2018-2025 Forester / 2013-2025 Impreza | 4x Larger Core | Transmission Cooling Kit

Overview

The Perrin Transmission Oil Cooler Kit is designed specifically for Subaru models equipped with CVT transmissions, including the 2013-2025 Crosstrek, 2018-2025 Forester, and 2013-2025 Impreza. This kit effectively manages transmission fluid temperatures, reducing heat buildup during demanding driving conditions such as towing, off-road use, or spirited driving. By maintaining optimal CVT oil temperatures, it helps extend the life of both the transmission and the fluid itself.

Engineered with a high-efficiency bar and plate-style oil cooler core, this Perrin kit features a core that is four times larger than the OEM cooler. This design not only improves cooling performance but also offers superior durability against road debris compared to traditional tube and fin cores. The kit includes custom 304 stainless steel brackets for secure, long-lasting mounting at the front of the vehicle, ensuring reliable operation without compromising fitment or airflow.

For Subaru owners who push their CVT-equipped vehicles beyond daily commuting, this transmission oil cooler kit provides tangible benefits by lowering CVT oil temperatures by 15°-20°F compared to stock. This temperature reduction translates to improved transmission reliability and longevity, especially under heavy load or low airflow scenarios. The kit is a practical upgrade that complements the Subaru ownership experience by enhancing drivetrain durability and peace of mind.
