increased capacity doesn't mean it will "run cooler"; it just means it will take longer to warm up because there's more fluid to warm.
and Transmissions have a *minimum* operating temp as well, with the idea that they operate best at a certain target temp (IIRC the 8HP is around 190ºF). so "cooler" isn't always in and of itself a Good Thing.
i'm with you on the dilution of particulates, though.
what i'd really like to see more of is transmission coolers that have a thermostat circuit in them that doesn't open up until some target temp, to allow the trans to warm up properly and only shed heat once they're over target.
i'd personally considered the PPE pan briefly, but can't think of a good enough reason to justify it, as i already have a full Artec belly-pan for protection, and rarely see the Trans get over target temps.
