You can argue all you want, the Gen 3 TL never experiences a warmer radiator core than ATF temperatures under normal operating conditions.
I am not arguing just providing accurate information.

04-06 TL its called a warmer with the 07-08 trans it's moved to the lower end tank of the radiator Honda calls it a cooler because it does allow for better temperature regulation compared to the old 04-06 trans (which is known for it's issues) .

Nope, I was being serious. You put the argument to bed using Honda documentation.

I have no temp data, only customer success stories by getting rid of the warmer and adding a cooler to non type-s models. Some type-s customers even prefer to upgrade to a B&M cooler for good measure.
