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.

Volvo S80 L5-2.5L Turbo - Car is hesitating and bucking - Spring City, Pennsylvania
Shawn came out just like always, on time professional, and polite. He was dressed very professionally and was polite as usual. He got right to work and diagnosed the issue right away, after a test drive it was found out the car needed a whole new transmission it was bad news for this car but he did his best to recommend services and going forward what he could do to fix the issue. Once again thank you Shawn for your polite and honest answer even if the outcome was not something we wanted to hear. I always trust Shawn's opinion and you should too, great experience as always.

2003Nissan Altima 2.5s.... while driving at highway speed {60} the car lost all power and died and all dash lights went off. A second or two later all the lights on the dash and headlights as well as radio came back on. I tried to put it in neutral and restart it while it was coasting but the starter wont engage to try and start motor. I have checked all fuses and fusible links, all good. I recently replaced head gasket and it had been running just fine. I put it on a code reader and got multiple codes. U1000, U1001, P0183, P1454, P1612, P1124, P0507 I`m lost as to what it could be and I dont have the money to take it to a shop to get it fixed. I only have the 1 car and need it to get back and forth to work.
