Does transmission fluid go through radiator?

All transmissions have a cooling line that runs to the radiator. A separate fluid passage circulates the transmission fluid through a portion of the radiator to cool the fluid.

Where does the oil go in an automatic transmission radiator?

If the oil flows from the disconnected cooler line, it means the oil flows out of the radiator at the other cooler line, making it the outlet.

How is transmission fluid filled in a car?

The transmission fluid on the other hand is traditionally filled through the dipstick, but be mindful your car will likely have two dipsticks, one for the engine oil and a second for the transmission fluid. What Happens If You Put Transmission Fluid In The Coolant Reservoir?
