Default Is this the transmission cooler lines

To all of you guys that have done the transmission fluid drain & refill on the transmission cooler lines. I just wanted to verify in this pic if it's the cooler lines for the transmission. I'm going to attempt to drain as much fluid on my transmission. By following tunedrx300 procedure. But I'm still contemplating wether to drop the pan and change the oil strainer or what not. I did a drain & refill on the this car when it was about 80k miles. I did not even measure, what i took out, i just put back about 3.7 qts. of ATF. So now at 105K, i want to try and do this again.

Yeah, when i first did the drain and refill, the car was new to me. It was my first time doing a drain and refill on a transmission. On the owners manual says drain & refill is about 3.7 qts. so that's what i put back in. So that's why, this time around i want to do this properly and at the right level.

Well, i just wanted to make sure that it is the cooler lines, don't wanna crack the hose open and find out it's the wrong one, or some kind of radiator hose and start to leak coolant instead of ATF.
