What is the Oil Cooler all about?

Primarily used in air-cooled and motorcycle engines, an oil cooler serves two purposes, lubrication and cooling. The oil cooler is usually placed near the radiator to maximize cooling airflow. To maintain the lubricative properties of oil, the oil cooler by cooling the oil (having it flow through it galleries) to the proper temperature range.

Keep in mind:

Though most people think engine oil is strictly for lubrication, it also plays a key role in cooling.
Oil carries away much of your engine's heat so that it can be dissipated by the standard cooling system.

How it's done:

The vehicle is raised and secured on jack stands
The defective oil cooler is removed
The new oil cooler is installed with new clamps
The vehicle started and checked for oil leaks then lowered off the jack stands
The vehicle is road tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

Oil will accumulate debris over time, to the point where deposits may narrow an oil coolers thin galleries. To keep the engine oil as clean as possible, it is best to change the oil at 3,000 to 3,500 miles. The oil filter should also be changed to maximize debris removal. Regular oil changes should also ensure that an oil cooler will last the life of your car. Without regular oil changes, the cooler may fail at 50,000 miles and need to be replaced.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Oil Cooler?

Engine power loss due to oil contamination
Engine misfiring due to oil fouling
Engine coolant temperature rise and potential damage due to oil contamination
Discharges of black, oil exhaust as unburned oil is released as part of the ignition cycle

How important is this service?

Because engine oil is vital for most engine components, a faulty or clogged oil cooler can cause many problems including cooling system failure and engine damage (leaks, overheating and scarring as overheated oil loses it's lubricating properties). It is important to keep all parts of the lubrication and cooling systems functional to be able to use your car. If left untreated, it will lead directly to engine failure.

Cadillac Allante V8-4.6L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - West Palm Beach, Florida

I asked Jeremy to inspect a car for me prior to purchasing it. I live in a different state so I really had to depend on Jeremy to give me as comprehensive a report as possible. He was absolutely wonderful to work with. I couldn't have gotten a better evaluation than the one Jeremy provided to me. Based on his evaluation, I ended up purchasing the car. Jeremy is terrific. He called me prior to inspecting the car and immediately after. This was in addition to his comprehensive report. I highly recommend Jeremy.
