Question Anyone else have this on their G?

So after installing my Injen intake, i went ahead and cleaned the bay when I noticed this >

Unknown cooler (Driver's side):



Power steering cooler (Passenger side, you all should have this):



Can anyone tell if it's a tranny oil cooler or engine oil cooler? or maybe it's for something else? lol I have no idea where the lines end up. I'm gonna be taking the car for service soon, so i'll ask the mechanic. It's probably only on GCC spec G's since we need all the cooling we can get. I'm thinking this might get in the way of a FMIC when i TT my G in the future But seriously can anyone tell by looking at it?

if it's an engine oil cooler then why don't US spec G's have them? different location? can't really be anywhere else though. And yes i am auto, which is why i'm starting to think it's a tranny oil cooler.

When I was looking at Terry's pics with the bumper removed for FMIC installation, I didn't see it. I'm pretty sure he has a Sport package.

I think it might be an extra cooler for GCC spec cars. Possibly a oil/tranny cooler or something added due to the heat we get here in the summers.

So let's see, US Spec G's have the small engine oil cooler, which looks something like this (Marked 1 in the pic)>





This means either GCC spec G's have an upgraded engine oil cooler or we have a nicely big tranny oil cooler and a crappy small engine oil cooler. Personally i'm leaning towards option 1, until I can get a definitive answer from my service mechanic If that is so, this means I will be saving money when it comes to upgrading my cooling system
