OIL COOLER & LINES

DESCRIPTION





The Oil Cooler is located on the side of the oil filter housing. The Oil Cooler is an oil-to-water heat exchanger. The Oil Cooler is attached to the oil filter housing using four bolts, and is integrated into the engines cooling system by two cooling hoses.

OPERATION
The Oil Cooler is an oil-to-water type heat exchanger. The Oil Cooler attaches to the side of the oil filter housing. The engine oil is directed to the Oil Cooler through inlet and outlet passages machined into the housing. The hot engine oil flows into the Oil Cooler, the cooler engine coolant circulates through the Oil Cooler. As the engine coolant flows through the Oil Cooler, the coolant extracts heat from the engine oil. Through this flow process, the engine oil is cooled and returned to the oil filer housing. The oil passages between the oil cooler and the oil filter housing are sealed with O-rings.
