Description
The oil cooler aides in cooling down the engine oil traveling through the oil filter, through use of the coolant in the cooling system. The oil cooler functions similar to the radiator, as the coolant flows through the cooler, the heat dissipates from the engine oil and transfers to the coolant.
The most common failures of the oil cooler are leaks, which lead to a mucky mix of coolant and engine oil. Be sure to pick up everything you need to get the job done quickly and correctly.
