Default Dewitts radiator help

Does anyone know the fluid capacity of each of the plate oil coolers inside the Dewitts radiator? Both ATF and engine oil coolers. Thanks. Contacted Dewitts and no answer.

I never measured it but it is very small. Maybe ounces? Just fill it up and check levels

Just curious, how your install went. I just installed a Dewitts radiator/fan but I'm stuck because no matter how hard I try, I can not push either of the 2 hoses on. The Dewitts is too large a diameter.

Mine was a straight forward install. You have to use the Dewitts fittings for the trans cooler. Leave the spring clip in the fitting then press in the transmission lines. It will snap in place.

My trans took about 1/4 qt to top off after install. No kidding, direct fit for me. Awesome fit and finish!

Super satisfied with my Dewitt's purchase. One year since trouble free install.
