Newbie Welcome Area / Omega Estate 2.6 Auto model year 2001 Auto Gearbox Oil Cooler Towing 1600 kg

Hello
I would appreciate some advice about wether a supplementry Transmission Oil Cooler is required to protect the gearbox when towing long distances in the UK and across Europe The Caravan when loaded weighs around 1600 kg. Or is one already fitted to the car. ex factory. The car will do about 5000 miles per year.
The gear box fitted to this Omega has the forward gearing designated as D 3 2 and 1. The chassis number is 008503
In the past with older cars with an auto gearbox in the late 80's and early 90's I have experienced serious overheating and consequential high repairs caused by gearbox failure. I have no wish to repeat this.
