as for abakja, the data we've collected suggests that AT cars have much less problem with overheating, so unless you are experiencing problems, I would hold off... ie are you regularly seeing temps above 280F? 260F? (EDIT: 2nd though, don't answer this here! we already have enough oil overheating threads, lol!)
I only see higher temps when I manual or paddle shift compared to normal "D" driving. Of course this would mean revving till I upshift or vice versa...

I think that members will start to leave a little more slack in the lines and lay off zip-tying the hoses together or to the frame as I dont see this totally necessary, but again Im going to keep an eye on the threads and change my oil next weekend and see what comes up after the next 3k miles...
