That trans' fan/radiator is installed on W211 E55 from all years?
By the way, the large radiator between the headlights is for the engine cooling water right?
Any ideas on how I can improve my trans oil cooling?
Is there a way to do it with stock configuration or must go for aftermarket parts?
the cooling unit with the fan is engine oil cooler. some years have a second engine cooler mounted under the the heat exchanger in front the ac component ("long tube" on bottom) I believe.
trans is cooled through radiator. but the second picture you posted has an aftermarket cooler for trans cooling mounted in front of radiator

Yeah mine has a long style cooler under that tube thing.
but mine doesn't have the trans cooler that the opening pic has ( looks aftermarket.
mine also has the 2 vertical coolers.
plus the larger HE.

Haha. The purpose of that thing has flipped back and forth so many times on here, it's not funny. Thanks for the correction.

yes, the largest one in the second pic that is farthest back.
A great way to learn about the specific parts on your car is to go to one of the better online parts wholesalers like "parts.com".
You type in the year,make and model and it gives you a list of areas on your car to search, , like cooling.
Once in those areas all kinds of parts diagrams pop up to show you exactly what everything is called.
There is also epc.net, I think the first way is easier.
I've been trying to monitor the transmission oil temperature & engine oil temperature using my OBD wifi scanner & Torque application but seems like it can't show those.
Is there any way I can monitor those temperatures?
What should be the optimal range I should look for (Celsius if possible).
