Magnefine Inline Transmission Filter Question

[thescreensavers]

Quote:
On new vehicles (less than 5,000 miles), it is recommended that the filter be installed on the cooler supply side to protect the cooler from contamination. On in-service vehicles (more than 5,000 miles), the filter should be installed in the return line from the cooler to the transmission. On any vehicle that has experienced any transmission difficulty, the filter should be placed on the return side.


Why after 5000 miles should the filter should be installed after the cooler? wouldn't it be better to filter before the cooler?

Maybe they feel some contaminates could get trapped in the cooler after a time.
One of those glass half full, or half empty deals. I would install it where it's easy to service and has good access.
The main thing is you have it plumbed to filter the trans. As opposed to no filtration.
