MAN 85000013442 Oil Cooler

Description

This oil cooler is a vital component of an engine's cooling system, designed to dissipate heat from the engine oil, maintaining optimal operating temperatures and preventing premature wear. It is commonly used in heavy-duty applications to extend engine life and improve performance. This MAN oil cooler, with MPN 85000013442, measures 140 x 150 x 260 mm. Its efficient design provides enhanced thermal capacity and improved oil viscosity control, ultimately contributing to greater engine reliability and reduced maintenance costs.

Key Features & Benefits

It basically does what the name suggests – it cools your engine oil. Oil gets really hot as it circulates, lubricating all those moving parts. The cooler is a small radiator that the hot oil passes through. It uses outside air, kind of like your car’s regular radiator, to bring that oil temperature down. Think of it as an extra heat exchanger for your engine. It’s part of the engine's cooling system, but it doesn’t cool the engine directly, it cools the oil. The oil then carries that cooling effect back to all the engine's internal bits. Usually you'll find these on cars that work a little harder – performance vehicles, turbocharged cars, or anything doing a lot of towing, things that put extra stress on the engine and therefore heat up the oil faster. It sits somewhere up front, often near the radiator, to get good airflow.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Hot oil breaks down faster. It loses its lubricating properties and can cause wear and tear on your engine’s components. The oil cooler helps maintain a consistent oil temperature, extending the life of your oil and protecting your engine. You’ll notice if it fails because your oil temperature light might come on, or you may experience reduced performance. It's a preventative measure, really. Parts like this aren’t always immediately noticeable when they go bad, but they're working hard to keep things running smoothly. You can find a good selection of oil coolers, including replacements for a lot of makes and models, over at Fixparts Online if you're looking.
