It’s pretty much what it sounds like – it cools your engine oil. Engine oil doesn’t just lubricate things, it also picks up a lot of heat from all the moving parts. The oil cooler is like a mini – radiator for the oil, using coolant from your regular radiator system to pull heat out of the oil and keep things at a safe temperature. It’s usually a small radiator – like component where the oil passes through a series of fins to dissipate heat. It sits within the cooling system, usually near the front of the engine where it gets good airflow. Oil travels from the engine, through the cooler, and then back to the engine. It’s most common on vehicles that work hard – things like turbocharged engines, heavy – duty trucks, or even cars that do a lot of towing. Some vehicles have them from the factory, others have them added later for extra protection. You can sometimes find aftermarket options on places like Fixparts Online if you're looking to upgrade. Engine oil’s job is tough. If it gets too hot, it starts to break down. That breakdown leads to reduced lubrication, increased wear and tear on engine parts, and eventually, serious engine damage. The oil cooler acts like a shield, keeping the oil at the right temperature so it can do its job properly. You’ll notice if an oil cooler fails because your oil temperature light will likely come on, and you may experience reduced engine performance. Eventually, it could lead to engine failure, so keeping it in good shape is pretty vital. Buy risk-free: Oil cooler (MPN CLC229000P) is covered by a 12-month warranty!
