No make or model of automatic trans can survive having the oil that's overheated and has quit lubricating/cooling parts.
Mineral oil will fail before synthetic.Cheap insurance.
An external cooler can fool the computer in the winter. My wife's truck's computer has a fit on extended trips with the trans failing to warm up. Taking the external cooler off now that we tow with a bigger/newer vehicle.
The manufactures all recomend "Joe Average Public" to tow with an automatic WITH THE FACTORY TOW PACKAGE OPTION. Costs the manufacture less on warrenty repairs.
Vehicle towing problems most often can be traced back to avehicle without a trans cooler pulling a too heavy load, too fast for too long.
Every May 24th weekend the highway shoulders and trans shops are littered with class I,II & III tow vehicles with class II,III & IV trailer loads attched.
Towing anything with a front wheel drive just isn't a good idea.
