Engine Oil Cooler

[romaniak]

i want to install an oil cooler on my x-runner..i've seen the oil cooler with the sanwich spacer....anyone have any info or a link where i could get one???

 

[blackx-runner]

are you talking about the OEM style oil cooler that uses coolant, or an aftermarket one that runs the oil thru a heat exchanger?

Check out this thread for the aftermarket style

This is the one i used, and i fabbed brackets for mine and mounted it sideways infront of condensor:

sandwich plate, NOTE: you will need to shave down the metal oil catch from around the filter for this sandwich plate to fit, not hard just make sure you cover the hole so as no metal shaving will get in motor.

keeps my oil about 12 degrees cooler. ran a test with just sandwich plate adapter and capped the openings off and ran my temp/pressure sensor off the plate ran it like that for about a week, then put the heat exchanger on and the temp diff was 12 degrees. also engine never gets above 178 degrees s/ced so a good investment.

gl bro, hope this helps

I think this is one it my next investments, buy I was wondering does it require more oil than stock specs? Either way I still want to invest in one.

If you are on a budget and want oem, watch ebay. It may take a while, but they pop up.

yes i cut it for clearance i have since gone the efan route which was the plan from the begining so didnt really care about the shroud lol. Thanks bro :top:

same filter nothing changes there, kit came with 3 adapters you just choose the one that fits your stock pattern.

yes all OIL COOLERS will require more oil just depends on size of exchanger or length in hose. for example mine oil change is 5.5 quarts not 4.8qts (oem spec). not sure about the OEM one but i belive it needs a little more.

How much is the OEM? I not a high ROLLER though like some:crinklehair:

when i was looking the OEM was about 200 - 350 range some even higher. Mine was 100 shipped and i see excellent results.

either way EXCELLENT investment. :top:

Good to know I'll have to keep an eye out.

does that OEM part screw on ? or does it come with a longer feeder tube ? how does that work ? IDK.

 

[blackx-runner]

it has a special nut that holds it down and extends the stud for the oil filter to screw into.
If you look close at the stock one there is a hex head in it. That one comes out and the new one with the cooler replaced it.
